Rory Gallagher - Shadow Play

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.

Well, 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. 

Tell me, why everyone have changed, 

In this shadow play, this shadow play, 

I have to find my way, 

In this 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 Dr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde. 

Yeah.........

Thoughts run wild, free as a child, 

Into the night. 

Across the screen a thin beam, 

Of magic light.

Tell me why things don't look the same, 

In this shadow play, this shadow play, 

I have to find my way, 

In this shadow play. 

I have to get away, 

In this shadow play, 

Well help me find my way, 

In this shadow play, 

Yeah..........
