THE HUMAN LEAGUE - LYRICS

REFLECTIONS

(Fellowes/Oakey)

Outside the last remaining shadows of the day too vague to make out
De chirico has packed his case and left, Abandoning his stake-out
Inside the music and the lights unite to overpower the fading day
In here with you beside me, warm and dry and safe my mind begins to stray
I see reflections of what was and what could be
In dark and light they dance around me
Ambition, Memories, Fears, hope and fantasies
Crucial words never said
All the good that you spread
Each a fragment of meaning to me
Who else amongst the dancing crowd can share the sense that we are falling ?
Above the sound who else can hear and see the fates as they are calling ?
That vision is a blessing is an error time can only sweep away
Insight is there to guide us, we ignore it's message in our own display
I see reflections of the people we could be
A million faces now surround me
Beloved, abandoned, fortunate or refugee
There were tears in the night
Summer days without end
Each a fragment of meaning to me
From the birth of a child
To the loss of a friend
Each a fragment of meaning to me
Demons of the mind
I see reflections of what was and what could be
In dark and light the dance around me
Ambition, Memories, Fears, hope and fantasies
Crucial words never said
All the good that you spread
Each a fragment of meaning to me
All the tears that you weep
All the love that you keep
Just a piece of the meaning to me
Crucial words never said
All the love that you spread
Each a fragment of meaning to me
The confusion and pain
The contentment again
Just a piece of the meaning to me
