Shadow Of A Lonely Man Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

Look at me now 

A shadow of the man I used to be 

Look through my eyes 

And through the years of loneliness you'll see 

To the times in my life 

When I could not bear to lose a simple game 

And the least of it all 

Was the fortune and the fame 

But the dream seemed to end 

Just as soon as it had begun, was I to know? 

For the last thing of all that was on my mind 

Was the close at the end of the show 

The shadow of a lonely man 

Feels nobody else 

In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man 

I can see myself 

Looking out of nowhere 

Looking out of nowhere 

But the sound of the crowds 

When they come to see me now is not the same 

And the jest of it all 

Is I can't recall my name 

But I cling to a hope 

Till I can't hold on anymore, anymore 

And for all the acclaim, I am all alone 

And I see as I look through the door 

The shadow of a lonely man 

There's nobody else 

In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man 

I can see myself 

Look at me now 

A shadow of the man I used to be
