The closest thing to me now is my shadow and it leaves when darkness falls
I'd always dreamed we'd be together till the final curtain call

But this world is filled with dreamers when dreams are the past that's all
The closest thing to me now is my shadow and it leaves when darkness falls

When darkness falls around me anyplace I lie is home
I relive a million memories till the breaking of the dawn

Though there's other arms around me the past I still recall
The closest thing to me now is my shadow and it leaves when darkness falls

The closest thing to me now is my shadow and it leaves when darkness falls
