Shadow

Your body's warm but you are not
You give a little not a lot
It could be love until we kiss
You're all I want but not like this

I'm watching you disappear
But you, you were never here

CHOURS
It's only your shadow,
Never yourself
It's only your shadow,
Nobody else
It's only your shadow,
Here, in the room
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon.
And leaving too soon.

Your body gives but then holds back
The summer's bright the sky is black
Can only be another sign
How can I keep what isn't mine?

You left but still you linger on
But you, you are almost gone

CHOURS
It's only your shadow,
Never yourself
It's only your shadow,
Nobody else
It's only your shadow,
Here, in the room
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon.
And leaving too soon.

How can I tell if you mean what you say?
You say it's all right but you're so far away
Maybe I'll have just a glimpse of your soul
Or was that your shadow I saw on the wall?

I'm watching you disappear
But you, you were never here.

CHOURS
It's only your shadow,
Never yourself
It's only your shadow,
Nobody else
It's only your shadow,
Here, in the room
Arriving too late
No, no, no
It's only your shadow
It's only your shadow
Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon
Oooh.
It's only your shadow.
