I leave the lights on all night when you're gone and I roll up the shades and I see My old companion who goes when the sun comes and Takes my reflection from me Sliding along The whole world waiting for me Can't you belong To any reflection but me We're playing cards and have just the same hand I'm not losing and neither is he Isn't it sad that so thoughtless and flat is A perfect reflection of me Are we alone With kings and jokers and queens Jacks are alone With black and red colored dreams CHORUS Every day is a long climb up to midnight And from there a roll and tumble into sleep Somewhere the sky turns to grey and the world Turns to paper between night and day Just like my heart caught between light and dark Like my friend who is going away Why don't you see Reflections mean what they say Are you complete Without my face in your way CHORUS
