No matter where I choose to go
My faithful shadow follows me
I don't print gold invitations
To breakfast, lunch, dinner - or tea
My shadow patiently sits there
It hides behind me til day's end
Not like an enemy or spy
As harmless as a dimwit friend
That shadow's strangely very dark
When there's a strong, bright mid-day light
Like me the shadow goes to sleep
When I turn off the bed-time light
I've strange, important news for you
You have a hidden shadow, too
Our shadows meet when we shake hands
I guess deep down you always knew
But what use to me's a shadow?
To a child I can explain
My hand makes shadows on the wall
Gone? Back again - I entertain.
