Shadow Play - Rory Gallagher

In the flinty light, it’s midnight

And stars collide

Shadows run, in full flight

To run, seek and hide

I’m still not sure what part I play

In this shadow play, this shadow play

In the half light, on this mad night

I hear a voice in time

Well, I look back, see a half-smile

Then it’s gone from sight

Won’t you tell me how I can find my way

In this shadow play, this shadow play

Shadow play, shadow play

Sounds come crashing

And I hear laughing

All those lights just blaze away

I feel a little strange inside

A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde

Sounds come crashing

And I hear laughing

All those lights just blaze away

I feel a little strange inside

A little Mr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde

Thoughts run wild, free as a child into the night

Across the screen a thin beam of magic light

Things they just don’t look the same

In this shadow play, this shadow play

Shadow play, shadow play

I can’t run away from this shadow play
