i looked in the mirror and saw a girl. she was longing for you
WINDOWS
(T. Beechey)
From my window,I can see you lost in each other's gazes
In the midst of the hazes brought on my passion's blazes
From your window,can you see me before a shattered mirror
Cause the image which appeared bore a figure that was clearer
Long ago?
From my window,I can see you living out your story
Basking in the glory of never needing to be sorry
From your window,can you see me lost in a sea of doubt
Wondering what life's about in a world now without
Your glow?
Myself in the mirror has become so distorted
And,through the scrawls and squiggles,I sifted and I sorted
In a quest for who I am or who I used to be
Or if,in fact,there ever was a me
From my window,I can see you in the arms of another
Secure in the love for this moment you've discovered
From your window,can you see me with head bent and kneeling
In search of a healing from this overwhelming feeling
Of shame?
From my window,I can see you dancing in the moonlight
Silohuetted in the twilight and everything is all right
From your window,can you see me as my spirit's slowly dulling
With teardrops steadily falling and each one calling
Out your name?
Myself in the mirror no longer bears reflection
While the lines of your shadow point in each direction
Yet I can't turn aside,ever hopeful for a glance
Of the stemming of the tide of romance
From my window,I can see you having all you need
Finding the path to lead to where you will succeed
From your window,can you see me lost along the trail
My whisper's now a wail,it's my destiny to fail
Oh,my
From my window,I can see you happily ever after
With smiles and laughter ringing down from the rafters
From your window,can you see me? No,you can't,I pulled the shade
The final card's been played,I've got nothing but a spade...
Goodbye
