Fish - Shadowplay

Hunched foetal in the corner of my soul, My fingernails are bleeding from climbing up the wall. This time you really hurt me right down to the core And I'm desperately trying to find a reason to forgive you for it all. I saw your life as a shadowplay. In a trance I was held by the shadowplay, In the spell of the shadowplay From Celtic illumination, I see the Celtic illumination, The Celtic. I never realized just how far we'd gone. I turned around and all that I saw was distance Through an anger that burned everytime That someone mentioned your name. I should have noticed, should have read the signs. We could have talked it out if there was a problem. It wasn't obvious then But then it isn't really obvious now. I saw your life as a shadowplay. In a trance I was held by the shadowplay, In the spell of the shadowplay From Celtic illumination I see the Celtic illumination, The Celtic. I could have changed I could have settled down, I could have been whatever you wanted me to be If you gave me the chance But it seems that it's too late for that now. I thought I knew you thought we had it made, I'd thought it out, thought I had the answers. After all is said and done The only thing I really know is your name. I sit and wait for the shadowplay, Let me in into the world of the shadowplay. I'll follow you to the shadowplay Through Celtic illumination, Give me the Celtic illumination, Illumination. If I'd only had the patience, if I'd only had the time, If I'd only known the moment when you'd chosen to decide, If I'd only ever listened, if you'd only ever asked, If I'd known it was important, if I'd known it wouldn't last. Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Maybe if I'd noticed, maybe if I'd tried. Maybe if I'd worked at it, it never would have died. Maybe I was selfish, maybe I was blind. Maybe I was in the wrong and you were in the right. Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Could I have been a better man, was I really all to blame? Was it me that was the problem, was it me that dealt the pain? Did you never mean to hurt me, did you only try to show That you really, truly loved me, that together we're alone. Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay Run to the magic of, The magic of the shadowplay I see my life as a shadowplay. All around is the magic of shadowplay. In the world of the shadowplay is where I belong Where all that I feared is how it is and will be And all that was hidden Now you will see. All I could dream You'll find now is real. All I could touch Now you can feel. And the light that I follow Is where the madness will end Illumination, illumination Shine on, shine on, shine on.
