I want to be a shadow Silent at your feet You turn on the light The dead of the night Because you can't get to sleep
Morning may come An ominous feeling We're never on the same side of the sun
If you should need me Wherever you lead I'll follow
I want to be your footprint In the new-fallen snow If you turn back Because you have to turn back I'll lead you to home
Lead me behind you Prepare to remind you Just how far you have come
If you should need me Wherever you lead I'll follow
I want to be an echo To answer your crying out
If every question comes back as a question I don't mean to cause you any doubt
[Outro] I want to be a shadow I want to be a shadow I want to be a shadow I want to be a shadow I want to be a shadow I want to be a shadow I want to be a shadow I want to be a shadow
