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....
