Song language: English
Through a Glass Darkly |
| I caught a glimpse of lovers holding hands |
| He looks at her, then falls to his knee |
| Then he asks her to marry |
| Asks her to share in his life |
| Then all is dark once more |
| Now a life of glimpses |
| Is all that’s left to me |
| I caught a glimpse of life rushing |
| Passing me by in the mirror |
| Of little boys who |
| Playing at war didn’t know that |
| One day war would |
| Be playing at them |
| But I know |
| I’ve caught it in glimpses |
| Then she saw a river swift |
| An old man stood on yonder shore |
| It seemed that he was weeping |
| And calling out to bring her home |
| And then it’s dark |
| That’s when the shadows |
| Play on the wall |
| And the mirror, it beckons |
| And would ensnare me |
| Dangling its dreams like |
| Silver and gold |
| So pretty |
| Chains to wrap around me |
| If only I could tear my gaze away |
| Then she saw the chasm growing |
| Yet still he waits for her |
| If only she could remember |
| She’s heard his voice before |
| Calling out to bring her home |
| She caught a glimpse of a father |
| Holding the hand of his daughter |
| Then, but for a moment |
| She seemed to recall |
| Then she saw the shadow growing |
| As she turned to walk away |
| And it seemed her heart was breaking |
| As he called her name |
| Calling out to bring her home |
