Mirror Images

It was not very far
From my old school yard
We appeared to be so distant
What made the first connection?

I was not very old then
When I first looked upon them
Emeralds were her eyes
Behind a screen they lie

And I knew not how to feel
And what was the secrecy
In the evenings at the time
What lies behind the frame

Looking at a face
Through the mirror then away
There I found those moments
Where the world just disappears
Keep looking at her face
It's no reflection every day
How could that ever change?
I'd become a shadow of myself

It was an evening in the mist
On November the 26th
And I held her in my arms
As we kissed our first goodbye

And I knew then how to feel
And what was the secrecy
In the evenings at the time
I held on to a pillow dreaming on
And on... At the door
What lies behind the frame?

Looking through the glass
There's a goddess staring back
Right there I found those moments
Where the world just disappeared
Keep looking through that glass
Ain't no reflection from the past
If I could never change
Would I become a shadow? (Silence!)

You and I may save this lonely life
