Shadowplay Lyrics - Fish

Hunched fetal in the corner of my soul 

My fingernails are bleeding 

From climbing up the wall 

This time you really hurt me right down to the core 

And I'm desperately trying to find a reason 

To forgive you for it all 

I saw your life as a shadowplay 

In a trance I was held by the shadowplay 

In the spell of the shadowplay 

From Celtic illumination 

I see the Celtic illumination, the Celtic 

I never realized just how far we'd gone 

I turned around and all that I saw was distance 

Through an anger that burned every time 

That someone mentioned your name 

I should have noticed, should have read the signs 

We could have talked it out if there was a problem 

It wasn't obvious then but then it isn't really obvious now 

I saw your life as a shadowplay 

In a trance I was held by the shadowplay 

In the spell of the shadowplay 

From Celtic illumination 

I see the Celtic illumination, the Celtic 

I could have changed I could have settled down 

I could have been whatever you wanted me to be 

If you gave me the chance 

But it seems that it's too late for that now 

I thought I knew you thought, we had it made 

I'd thought it out, thought I had the answers 

After all is said and done 

The only thing I really know is your name 

I sit and wait for the shadowplay 

Let me in into the world of the shadowplay 

I'll follow you to the shadowplay 

Through Celtic illumination 

Give me the Celtic illumination, illumination 

Illumination, illumination, illumination, illumination, illumination 

If I'd only had the patience, if I'd only had the time 

If I'd only known the moment when you'd chosen to decide 

If I'd only ever listened, if you'd only ever asked 

If I'd known it was important, if I'd known it wouldn't last 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

Maybe if I'd noticed and maybe if I'd tried 

Maybe if I'd worked at it, it never would have died 

Maybe I was selfish, maybe I was blind 

Maybe I was in the wrong and maybe you were right 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

Could I have been a better man, was I really all to blame? 

Was it me that was the problem, was it me that dealt the pain? 

Did you never mean to hurt me, did you only try to show 

That you really, truly loved me that together we're alone? 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

Run to the magic of, the magic of the shadowplay 

I see my life as a shadowplay 

All around is the magic of shadowplay 

In the world of the shadowplay is where I belong 

Where all that I feared is how it is and will be 

Ana all that was hidden now you will see 

And all I could dream you'll find now is real 

And all I could touch now you can feel 

And the light that I follow is where the madness will end 

Illumination, illumination 

Illumination, illumination 

Illumination, illumination 

Shine on, shine on 

Shine on, shine on, shine on
