[Verse 1]

Lying in my room quite late one night

Something I could see made me check my sight

Something very strange made me walk outside

So I walked outside like this fool would

Nothing to lose and I knew I should

Ever since she told me that I was no good

It was no good, I knew it would be

[Chorus]

Only a shadow, only a shadow

Only a shadow but she looks like you

Only a shadow, only a shadow

Only a shadow but she looks like you

She looks like you

[Verse 2]

It's the time of year when the flower dies

It's the kind of night where the ghost will rise

Searching for a girl with the dancing eyes

Who could stay all day but leave next night

Instinct should have told me it never worked out right

Now I'm very nervous, I leave on my light

But I walk outside, I walk outside, but it's

[Chorus]

Only a shadow, only a shadow

Only a shadow but she looks like you

Only a shadow, only a shadow

Only a shadow but she looks like you

Only a shadow, only a shadow

Only a shadow but she looks like you

Only a shadow, only a shadow

Only a shadow but she looks like you

She looks like you

[Verse 3]

Listen to her voice going 'round my head

Comes to me at night when I'm in my bed

Could be going crazy, it's what they said

And what they say is I'm no good

Told me to leave, you really think I should

Haunted by your face everywhere I look

But I walk outside and I walk to find it's

[Chorus]

Only a shadow, only a shadow

Only a shadow but she looks like you

Only a shadow, only a shadow

Only a shadow but she looks like you

Only a shadow, only a shadow, only a shadow

[Outro]

Only a shadow

Only a shadow

Only a shadow

Only a shadow
