There's a man, I want to know again Get him to grow and then I'm gonna throw him back to you I knew that man, he fell out of the sky Swore that love would never die He understood what he meant to you Along came this boy, he liked to travel More like wander off Come home with the birds Maybe sleep out in the yard He was two arms full of noise He's a shadow but he wants to be real Just a shadow but he wants to be real He's a shadow but he wants to be real again Get some lonesome Get some lonesome Get some lonesome Get some lonesome You loved that man with everything you had and then some Even when he was too lonesome to give back You'd throw something on the fire Sometimes he'd walk away Mostly he came back but not today No matter how you tried to pave the way He denied his grave with you He's a shadow but he wants to be real Just a shadow but he wants to be real He's a shadow but he wants to be real again Get some lonesome Get some lonesome Get some lonesome Get some lonesome I see that man, he's playing your guitar Wondering where you are And the house is dark and hollow He's a shadow but he wants to be real Just a shadow but he wants to be real He's a shadow but he wants to be real again Get some lonesome Get some lonesome Get some lonesome Get some lonesome
