Packed my things in an
overnight bag.
A toothbrush and guitar.
got no tail to
drag.
Gonna leave, on the next passing breeze.
My heart is
heavy.
as a sky full of rain.
Mind full of notions.
that I just
can't explain.
The reasons why.
just can't be
supplied.
Trapped by a heartache.
and freed by my
will.
Sentenced to wander.
so much time to kill.
Hear my
plea.
and rescue me.
Packed my sorrows in an overnight
bag.
But I'll be gone much longer than that.
Who knows
when.
we'll meet again?
Too many sleepless nights.
put my
soul on edge.
And so many restless moods.
lay heavy in my
head.
Too many sleepless nights.
put my soul on edge.
And so
many restless moods.
lay heavy in my head.
Wrote down my
thoughts.
and I sealed them in hope.
Sent them to you in a blue
envelope.
Not received, it seems to me.
I had some things that I
wanted to say.
But my chance.
well it just blew away.
On the
breeze.
like some mystery.

Rory
Gallagher - Shadow Play lyrics
In the flinty light, it's
midnight.
And stars collide.
Shadows run, in full flight.
To run,
seek and hide.
I'm still not sure what part I play.
In this shadow
play, this shadow play.
In the half light, on this mad night.
I
hear a voice in time.
Well, I look back, see a half-smile.
Then it's
gone from sight.
Won't you tell me how I can find my way.
In this
shadow play, this shadow play.
Sounds come crashing.
And I hear
laughing.
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange
inside.
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde.
Sounds come
crashing.
Can I hear laughing?.
All those lights just blaze
away.
I feel a little strange inside.
A little Dr. Jekyll, a little
Mr. Hyde.
Thoughts run wild, free as a child.
Into the
night.
Across the screen a thin beam.
Of magic light.
Things they
just don't look the same.
In this shadow play, this shadow
play.
Shadow play, shadow play.
I can't run away from this shadow
play.
