Through a Glass Darkly (Live 2006)

歌詞

I caught a glimpse of lovers holding hands He looks at her, then falls to his knee Then he asks her to marry Asks her to share in his life Then all is dark once more Now a life of glimpses Is all that’s left to me I caught a glimpse of life rushing Passing me by in the mirror Of little boys who Playing at war didn’t know that One day war would Be playing at them But I know I’ve caught it in glimpses Then she saw a river swift An old man stood on yonder shore It seemed that he was weeping And calling out to bring her home And then it’s dark That’s when the shadows Play on the wall And the mirror, it beckons And would ensnare me Dangling its dreams like Silver and gold So pretty Chains to wrap around me If only I could tear my gaze away Then she saw the chasm growing Yet still he waits for her If only she could remember She’s heard his voice before Calling out to bring her home She caught a glimpse of a father Holding the hand of his daughter Then, but for a moment She seemed to recall Then she saw the shadow growing As she turned to walk away And it seemed her heart was breaking As he called her name Calling out to bring her home
