Only Shadows - Jewel

Think there’s a monster in your closet

Even if you lock it

Think you can’t stop it

No matter how hard you try

Well listen here sleepy head

Close your eyes and go to bed

With good thoughts in your head

Tell you why it’s gonna be alright

They’re only shadows

They’re only shadows

They’re only shadows

In the night

You walk down the street

A creepy feeling starts to creep

And suddenly you feel your feet

Moving faster til they fly

You look all around

You look up and you look down

But still there’s nothing you have found

And I will tell you why

They’re only shadows

They’re only shadows

They’re only shadows

In the night

There are lots of things that may go bump in the night

But if you use your brain you will be alright

That scary noise is just the faucet dripping

And the thump thump thump is the dog’s tail wagging

The thing you saw out of the corner of your eye

Was just a shadow in the night

You can’t have shadows without the light

No hello without goodbye

No laughter 'til you cried

That’s just part of life

The great compromise

You are truly wise

If you see with your own eyes

They’re only shadows

They’re only shadows

They’re only shadows

In the night

They’re only shadows

They’re only shadows

They’re only shadows

In the night
