Bent Van Looy - Shadow of a man lyrics

I am but a shadow of a man I live by the grace of your land I slide over your pillow By sunrise I'll be gone Maybe if you wait I will come there Some nights I live under the stairs If someone leaves the lights on In the downstairs hall Don't try to chase me You would never understand Don't try to change me What I am is what I am I'm just a presence you can't see Only in your mirror I appear And gently you look through me As if I weren't here Don't try to chase me You would never understand Don't try to change me What I am is what I am I rely on memories Shadow dancing in the dark By the lamplight down the street Right behind you as you are And when you're wide awake I'm back Just remember you once said The one you want the most Is the hardest to be had Don't try to chase me You would never understand Don't try to change me What I am is what I am Don't try to change me Don't try to change me Don't try to change me Don't try to change me
