Annotationen
Soul wird introspektiv: «Through the mirror of my mind / Time after time / I see reflections of you and me». Es folgen Sätze, die klar machen, dass die Beziehung zu Ende ist. Grossartig orientalisch-ornamentale Zeilen lauten: «As I peer through the window / Of lost time / Looking over my yesterdays / And all the love I gave all in vain».

Lyrics
Through the mirror of my mind Time after time I see reflections of you and me Reflections of The way life used to be Reflections of The love you took from me Oh, I'm all alone now No love to shield me Trapped in a world That's a distorted reality Happiness you took from me And left me alone With only memories Through the mirror of my mind Through these tears that I'm crying Reflects a hurt I can't control Cause although you're gone I keep holding on To the happy times Oh, when you were mine As I peer through the window Of lost time Looking over my yesterdays And all the love I gave all in vain (All the love) All the love That I've wasted (All the tears) All the tears That I've tasted All in vain Through the hollow of my tears I see a dream that's lost From the hurt That you have caused Everywhere I turn Seems like everything I see Reflects the love that used to be In you I put All my faith and trust Right before my eyes My world has turned to dust After all the nights I sat alone and wept Just a handful of promises Are all that's left of loving you Reflections of The way life used to be Reflections of The love you took from me In you I put All my faith and trust Right before my eyes My world has turned to dust
