I long for eyes that I can love without a word
give me feeling all across the room
I can feel your skin and eyes, I can feel the room
and when I pass you in the hallway
my hand will touch your skin

I have lovers that I don’t love
and some I do that are wrong
and I wait with this endless ache inside
for the right one to come along
I’m dying someplace, loved as much as I am
for someone I can rejoice in
with out knowing from the start how it ends.

confusion mimics me, I try to understand
I fail to see that in the mirror glass
the thoughts I have in mind shape the answer
first and last

and so in spinning time the questions weave
and leave me winded by my logic’s futile try
and so confusion wins the greatest gain
against my feeble sight against my motive, pain

I hold the mirror in hand and is it friend or foe
I never seem to see yet I always try to know.
