Shadow Hand

I'm shaking my shadow hand Shaking my shadow hand In light of all I've learned so far I don't believe I'm so strange In spite of all this time I spend Calling the air by a name When the first light goes over the trees He will be singing with me And if I feel like singing alone He always leaves me be I'm shaking my shadow hand As the sun moves round the bend With an imaginary man And we'll make believe around and around again I'm shaking my shadow hand There's a man out walking around in the night A lantern in his hand Looking all around, searching in vain For an honest man In my little world of make-believe I talk to myself or my friend If some real life comes tempting me I'm going back in my room again I'm shaking my shadow hand As the sun moves round the bend With an imaginary man And we'll make believe around and around again I'm shaking my shadow hand So nice to pretend, think I'll do it again No cards to send, no torn heart to mend A little imagination and then A world of fantasy with my friend I'm shaking my shadow hand As the sun moves round the bend With an imaginary man And we'll make believe around and around again I'm shaking my shadow hand As the sun moves round the bend With an imaginary man And we'll make believe again It's my shadow hand
