"mirrors"

see the girl's sunlighted cheek
a string of pearls left on the beach
a wasted night; a time-swept thief
left the holy love to leak

a tired day is gone
another hasn't yet begun
tomorrow's just a mirror
like yesterday

  oh once upon a time
  a sunny day pushed all away
  and just the thought of you was left
  and just an ounce of past regret

  could dare to cloud the sunny day
  and then my thoughts they all were slain
  by the devil's good, good heart
  who knew

see a man leave half his soul
half his heart and all his coal
the fire burned and all consumed
no reason yet to re-exhume

who knew today would be so soon
who knew; who could have told me
who could have warned that it would be the same
like yesterday

  oh once upon a time
  a sunny day pushed all away
  and just the thought of you was left
  and just an ounce of past regret

  could dare to cloud the sunny day
  and then my thoughts they all were slain
  by the devil's good, good heart
  who knew
