The Man Without A Shadow

    Now we’ve all got stories to tell
And I like to tell mine from time to time
But when I tell them
I tell them in my simple rhyme

Now we’ve all had loves that have
Left our worlds torn apart
What we thought was forever love
And we were left with a broken heart

This is a story about a man that I know
Who rolled the dice and played the game
But he lost it all, yes everything
And he will never, ever be the same

You see when he first saw her
He couldn’t help but be starry-eyed
But he should have known
She would never be satisfied

Now things aren’t always sunshine and roses
But that’s how she wanted it to be
He gave her his love, even though
The warning signs were plain to see

She left him one stormy night
As lightning was flashing across the sky
He pleaded with her not to go
As they both began to cry

Now a darkness follows him
As his heart is filled with pain
Doomed to walk forever
In this never ending rain

But with no sunshine
There’s never gonna be a rainbow
With no light shining through, he’ll
Forever be the man without a shadow
