Each day, I stand still as a mirror
reflecting your glory
If you only knew I were here
it's the same old story, you take center stage

Am I just a mere shadow
A spirit, an echo
Less fabrication than truth
Seems I'm just a mere shadow to you
Seems I'm just a mere shadow to you
Seems I'm just a mere shadow to you

Just yesterday, I could hold you
Feel your warmth in my arms
But time's so cruelly swept away
All my memories' charms
They wither and fade

Am I just a mere shadow
A spirit, an echo
Less fabrication than truth
Seems I'm just a mere shadow to you
Seems I'm just a mere shadow to you
Seems I'm just a mere shadow to you

Tomorrow, you'll still walk on water
those still waters run deep
I wish you would sink past your knees
Will you wake from your sleep or just dream about me?

Am I just a mere shadow
A spirit, an echo
Less fabrication than truth
Seems I'm just a mere shadow to you
Seems I'm just a mere shadow to you
Seems I'm just a mere shadow to you
