I went dancing last night
in a big dance hall
just me and the shadow
that follows behind.

I had the lights real bright
so my shadow had life
and it always kept in step
with a tendency to lead.

I pictured you there
in the shadow as we danced
your dark shape next to mine
holding me, loving me again.

Doing a waltz in the glare
of the lights so bright.

When I'd had my fill of dancing
I walked to the door
you followed me so closely.

I reached over to the switch
and with just a flick
you were gone.
