Shadow Hand - Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers

Shadow Hand Lyrics

I'm shaking my shadow hand
Shaking my shadow handIn light of all I've learned so far
I don't believe I'm so strange
In spite of all this time I spend
Calling the air by a nameWhen the first light goes over the trees
He will be singing with me
And if I feel like singing alone
He always leaves me beI'm shaking my shadow hand
As the sun moves round the bend
With an imaginary man
And we'll make believe around and around again
I'm shaking my shadow hand
There's a man out walking around in the night
A lantern in his hand
Looking all around, searching in vain
For an honest manIn my little world of make-believe
I talk to myself or my friend
If some real life comes tempting me

I'm going back in my room againI'm shaking my shadow hand
As the sun moves round the bend
With an imaginary man
And we'll make believe around and around again
I'm shaking my shadow handSo nice to pretend, think I'll do it again
No cards to send, no torn heart to mend
A little imagination and then
A world of fantasy with my friend
I'm shaking my shadow hand
As the sun moves round the bend
With an imaginary man
And we'll make believe around and around againI'm shaking my shadow hand
As the sun moves round the bend
With an imaginary man
And we'll make believe again
It's my shadow hand
