Secret life of a shadow

Disembark from your ship, my shadow,

When I switch off the lights,

When the shadow is still as a polyp,

Take a break from this polka

Spruce up this silly lad, shadow

And carry on the secret shady life

Stand up to those to whom I cowered,

Cross those lines I was too shy to cross

Whinge for those opportunities given up,

Binge for those values left behind,

Cringe for those cringe worthy moments

And appoint a smith to carve this stone

Lend a hand to grab those missed,

Let the bumpy road be of satin,

Is this the secret Life of shadow

Or a life longed to live, secretly, shadowly...
