lyrics

The mirror retains the flower I bejeweled with

I remember
In the mirror
Eyes with hunger
For life – long ago

Along the ditch
I had an itch
To bend every flower
On gods fresh meadow

Collecting hearts
Like business-cards
Became decoration
To my ego

Spring passed by
Summer died
Then the leaves fell
Where could I go

The flowers gone
All alone
In that mirror
A face I don’t know

And that old hunger where did it go
I’ve digested but I’m so fed up still
Looking for comfort – I feel ill
No need for thrill
I ran all the way – what did I know
What’s left is a winters chill
