Shadow of a Lonely Man

Shadow of a Lonely Man - The Alan Parsons Project

Look at me now

A shadow of the man I used to be

Look through my eyes

And through the years of loneliness you'll see

To the times in my life

When I could not bear to lose a simple game

And the least of it all

Was the fortune and the fame

But the dream seemed to end

Just as soon as it had begun was I to know

For the last thing of all that was on my mind

Was the close at the end of the show

The shadow of a lonely man

Feels nobody else

In the shadow of a lonely lonely man

I can see myself

Looking out of nowhere

Looking out of nowhere

But the sound of the crowds

When they come to see me now is not the same

And the jest of it all

Is I can't recall my name

But I cling to a hope

Till I can't hold on anymore anymore

And for all the acclaim I am all alone

And I see as I look through the door

The shadow of a lonely man

There's nobody else

In the shadow of a lonely lonely man

I can see myself

Look at me now

A shadow of the man I used to be
