lyrics

through the looking glass it seems
the screen shows off the past
in gleaming gold

wise now old and laughing
it's the notion of what's passing
and these tales which have been told

caught a glimpse of the stone
not so far from home
shook my form and set the tone

and the blanket
which shrouded's-
-been made redundant now without it
cold sweat of my own

are you gonna go away?
you're running into trouble if you stay
well we could make a start
oh we could make a start somewhere
cos time here is burnin'
something new's what i'm yearning for

he said take my offering
a summer at the coast
well it's what i needed most
it is the vantage
that his years bring
chief said is it time to leave?
I said I think it's what I need yeah

are you gonna go away?
you're running into trouble if you stay
well we could make a start
oh we could make a start somewhere
cos time here is burnin' oh
something new's what i'm yearning for

mmm
. . . . .
mmmm
. . . . .
mmmmm
