Mirror images of past lives, sinking Memories flicker in the dark Half-remembered contradictions, swimming Let them glimmer and depart And all of the summers unite in our brains And all of the winters are fading away We try our best The words have left I remember faces but the rest is fleeting We close our eyes as though it matters So surreptitious in the way we pass it off We pass it off And none of the springtimes spring to mind And all of the autumns are dust in wind A mirror image of a past life troubles us all
