From the recording Time Slips Away
Lyrics
Hallway Mirror
I sit inside this room, in the house, we built together
Thinking that the plans we drew would somehow last forever
Now in these empty rooms I sit in quiet disarray
With the furniture you rearranged… just before you went away
When I look into the hallway mirror
I can’t recognize myself
Or see what others see
And what you saw in me
I can’t pretend to understand
The deep feelings I still keep
With the hole you left inside of me
And a heart that lost a beat
Why you left and where you are
And how it came to be
Now I share this big old house
With the broken man in me
I lie down in this bed, in a bed we shared together
Sweet thoughts inside my head, sweet love that I remember
Now I lay here all alone and I think of yesterday
How it all just seemed to change….before you went away
Why you left and where you are
And how it came to be
Now I share this big old house
with the broken man in me
I walk through these dark halls and hear the sound of silence
Feeling like I’ve drowned, in a sea of tears and sadness
Now in these empty rooms I think about you everyday
And how our world went upside down… just before you went away
When I look into the hallway mirror
I can’t recognize myself
Or see what others see
And what you saw in me
I can’t pretend to understand
The deep feelings I still keep
With the hole you left inside of me
And a heart that lost a beat
With the hole you left inside of me
And a heart that lost a beat
