lyrics

Reflections

Go and look
Through your window to my world
Rose-tinted glass
The chosen parts
What I want you to know

And stop to see
How we outdo one and all
The better days
The masquerades
The writing on the wall

I sometimes ache
For the slightest sign of you
Sit, stare and wait
Until my days are through
I should know now
Surrounded but alone
When it’s time to head back home
Time to head on home
I’d better make my own
My own way

Come for me
I’ll be by the waterside
Looking in
At the world within
Lost in reflected eyes

Then find me
Where the hours are whiled away
In a mirrored hall
That distorts us all
Into the parts we pine to play

I sometimes ache
For the slightest sign of you
Sit, stare and wait
Until my days are through
I should know now
Surrounded but alone
When it’s time to head back home
Time to head on home
I’d better make my own
My own way
