John Da Cruz - Shadow Man

Another night the moonlight dying
The whisky drying on my lips
Instruments of torture vying
To tear my heart into bits
The shadows falling
I hear you calling
Shadow Man there you are
Devil smile, icy gaze
I see you through the smoke and haze
Your touch could freeze a heart for days
He says, 'I cannot bear your cry
I'll bring you down, your binds untie
But how to make sure that you
Never wind up here again?'
Don't catch her eye
Don't look her way
Don't share her smile
No repartee
No stolen glances
No advances
Cold as ice, if you can
Like the Shadow Man
The Shadow Man
Another night, oh, how time passes
Such empty glasses in my wake
Paper dreams, now snow-like ashes
How many falls can I take?
The shadows close in
The air now frozen
Shadow Man, right on time
Takes my hand, gives a wink
Into my hand another drink
Again he pulls me from the brink
He says, 'we've been here more than twice
You should have heeded my advice
Your injuries histories
Should have taught you long ago
Don't catch her eye
Don't look her way
Don't share her smile
No repartee
No stolen glances
No advances
Cold as ice, if you can
Shadow Man
With her you're trapped
Alone you're free
You'll be a shadow just like me
The world is stark, yes
From the darkness
Never feel love again
Like the Shadow Man
Like the Shadow Man
Like the Shadow Man
