Looking Glass

Feels like someone's looking over my shoulder

I turn around and no one's there

The looking glass is looking older and older

Lately, I don't care

Looking glass can't you see what I've been through

Slowly giving myself away

I run from the past, run for the future

And miss the sweet smell of today

I play this song on my own piano

Helps make sense of the shape I'm in

I open the doors on a cool rainy morning

And songs come riding on the wind

Take me away over clouds of sorrow

I guess I'll ride it one more time

Go through the deluge to get to the promise

Songs are rainbows in the sky

Human longing inspiriation

Woman painting canvas across the street

Got an old slouchy hat and a coat like renoir

Maybe I'll bring her a cup of tea

Maybe light is the absense of shadow

Maybe shadow needs a place to sleep

You know, we shine our light as much as we're going to

The rest the cats and angels keep

Me and this song we got a lot in common

Neither knows quite how to end

We just follow along like a leaf on the river

And believe we always can begin again
