Holding up a mirror to tomorrow I see me just standing there I’m not afraid of catching your eye You’re clearly well aware Life’s always changing, mutating The years exhale and die Waiting below falling bodies Why stay here? Why? Sophisticated and calculating The risk to reward’s too great If you feel differently It sadly is too late We hardly touched tenderly Warding off shame You never took me seriously But stole my spring rain Grass, clouds and sun-baked sky Pervade tenements of my mind Doused with gasoline My children’s children striking rocks And it’s suddenly Winter again Grass hidden, clouds dreary, sky gray I’d starve before I let you dig me out I’d let you freeze in your sleep All bundled in a corner Away from light and love and time Forgotten in our stories Surrounded by my mind

Holding up a Mirror to tomorrow
Holding up a mirror to tomorrow I see me just standing there I’m not afraid of catching your eye You’re clearly well aware Life’s always changing, mutating The years exhale and die Waiting below falling bodies Why stay here? Why? Sophisticated and calculating The risk to reward’s too great If you feel differently It sadly is too late We hardly touched tenderly Warding off shame You never took me seriously But stole my spring rain Grass, clouds and sun-baked sky Pervade tenements of my mind Doused with gasoline My children’s children striking rocks And it’s suddenly Winter again Grass hidden, clouds dreary, sky gray I’d starve before I let you dig me out I’d let you freeze in your sleep All bundled in a corner Away from light and love and time Forgotten in our stories Surrounded by my mind
