This Side Of The Looking Glass (2006 Digital Remaster)

The stars in the heavens still shine

up above me:

how lovely they'd seem

if you were with me

but you're gone through the looking-glass

and I am left to pass these nights alone.

I'm lost, I'm dumb, I'm blind,

I am drunk with sadness,

sunk by madness,

the wave overwhelms me,

the mirror repels me,

the echo of your laugh

drifts through the looking-glass

and I am alone.

No friendship, no comfort, no future, no home,

the past lingers with me:

you're all the love I've ever known

and without you I'm nothing

but empty and silent,

reflecting on all that I've lost.

I let you slip away so soon.

I am dying; you are gone.

These words are not enough to save my soul,

they just mock me from the mirror.

I'm cold and I'm yearning,

I've told you I'm burning,

my eyes can't stand the light...

like a stray dog in the night

I'll shuffle off alone.

We all make our futures

but I have lost mine;

I'm hoping for a miracle

but finding no sign...

The stars in their constellations,

each one just sadly flickers and falls...

without you they mean nothing at all.
