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 every time 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 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.
