Peter Hammill this side of the looking glass

Select language to translate this lyric

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
Without you I am nothing but empty and silent
Reflecting on all that I've lost, I let you slip away so soon
Can you hear me? This is my song
I am dying, you are gone
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Now 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, nothing at all
