It's My Shadow Lyrics

Who is that upon the stairs
Acting like he don't know where
And who is layin' down all the cards
And giving me the wrong things to say
And like a wheel on the table
He's a Cain to my Abel, ohh
It's my shadow

A confessor to my dreams
Castin' ribbons from my feet
Oh, into my day
It's my shadow
Makin' eyes until the sun
Lights the daytime as she comes
Oh, into my day

Happy in the time when I would have been there to see you
Happy in the time when I would have been there at all, oh
Happy when the night is gone and I believe you
Happy when the night is gone and I need a call
I need a call

Who is chasing in the wind?
All the letters never sent
And who is dustin' down the stars
And givin' me the wrong moves to make
And like a wheel on the table
He's a Cain to my Abel
Dancin' upon the floor
It's my shadow

Making eyes until the sun
Blinds the daytime as she comes
Oh, into my day
Its my shadow
Like a willow to my stream
Casting heaven 'round my feet
Oh, into my day

When you find that things are gettin' wild
Is that the hardest smile that you can ever feel?
When you find that things are gettin' wild
Is that the hardest smile that you can ever feel?

Paralyzed until the sun
Lights the daytime as she comes
And if my shadow comes a creepin'
And I know I'll find me sleepin' in the sun

When you find that things are gettin' wild
Is that the hardest smile that you can ever feel?
When you find that things are gettin' wild
Is that the hardest smile that you can ever feel?
When you find that things are gettin' wild
Is that the hardest smile that you can ever feel?
When you find that things are gettin' wild
Is that the hardest smile that you can ever feel?
When you find that things are gettin' wild
Is that the hardest smile that you can ever feel?
When you find that things are gettin' wild
Is that the hardest smile that you can ever feel?
When you find that things are gettin' wild
Is that the hardest smile that you can ever feel?

Ocean Colour Scene is an alternative rock band which formed in Birmingham, England in 1990. Currently, the band consists of Simon Fowler (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Steve Cradock (guitar, organ), Andy Bennett (guitar), Tony Boylan (guitar), Dan Sealey (bass) and Oscar Harrison (drums). Founding bassist Damon Minchella left the band amicably in 2003.

Falling between the energetic pop/rock of mod revival and the psychedelic experimentations of Traffic, Ocean Colour Scene came to be one of the leading bands of the traditionalist, post- Britpop of the mid-'90s. Although they had formed in Birmingham in 1990 and had several minor hits during the height of Madchester in the early '90s, the band didn't earn a large following until 1996, when their second album, Moseley Shoals, became a multi-platinum success story in the U.K. Their ascent was greatly aided by Paul Weller and Oasis' Noel Gallagher, both publicly praised Ocean Colour Scene for keeping the flame of real rock & roll burning during the '90s. And, according to one specific definition, they were right, since Ocean Colour Scene was nothing if not rock & roll traditionalists, drawing heavily from British Invasion pop, psychedelia, soul, R&B, and blues-rock to create a reverential homage to classic rock. Their devotion to trad rock may have earned them decidedly mixed reviews, but that was the very thing that earned them a sizable following. Read more on Last.fm.
