THIS SIDE OF THE LOOKING-GLASS
from Over
G# D# C# G#
The stars in the heavens still shine up above me
C# B
How lovely they'd seem if you were with me...
D#m C#
But you're gone through the looking-glass
B A#
And I am left to pass these nights alone
G# D# C# G# C#
I'm lost, I'm dumb, I'm blind. I am drunk with sadness, sunk by madness
B D#m
The wave overwhelms me, the mirror repels me
C# B
The echo of your laugh drifts through the looking-glass
A#
And I am alone
D#m A# D#m C# B A#
No friendship, no comfort, no future, no home. The past lingers with me:
G# A G# F# F
You're all the love I've ever known and without you I'm nothing
D#m A# D#m A# D#m
But empty and silent reflecting on all that I've lost
D#m C# B A#
I let you slip away so soon
A# B A# G# A# B A# G#
Can you hear me? This is my song:
B Em B Em
I am dying, you are gone.
G# D# C#
These words are not enough to save my soul
G# C#
They just mock me from the mirror
B D#m
I'm cold and I'm yearning, I've told you I'm burning
C#
My eyes can't stand the light...
B A#
Like a stray dog in the night I'll shuffle off alone
D#m A# D#m C#
We all make our futures but I have lost mine
D#m A# D#m A#
I'm hoping for a miracle but finding no sign...
B A# B C#
The stars in their constellations, each one just sadly flickers and falls
B A# D#m
Without you, they mean nothing at all.
