Shadow Hand

In 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 name When the first light comes over the trees He will be singing with me And if I feel like singing alone He always lets me be [Chorus] 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 again There's a man walking around in the night A lantern in his hand Looking all around, searching in vain For an honest man In my little world of make-believe I talk to myself or my friend If real life comes tempting me I'll go back in my room again [Chorus] So 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 friends [Chorus] --- Shadow Hand - Bruce Hornsby
