Mirrors Don't Lie

Water stains on the mirror I focus them in view In the distance there's a blurry man A fellow I once knew He just stands there facing me His hair turned from brown to white Yesterday he seemed so much younger Or so it seems I'm older now It's colder now Mirrors don't lie Mirrors don't lie Look at my face The lines and cracks reveal I'm older now Look into my eyes I can almost see my soul - and it's waiting, waiting to go Soul, soul Got more places to go Got more work to do You've gathered all the knowledge you can hold Young man calls me old man Old man calls me young I'm stuck here somewhere in the middle Between going to and coming from. I'm older now It's colder now Mirrors don't lie Mirrors don't lie And as that lonely cello plays the Am/G I realize that I'm exactly where I need to be I stare into the face of an old man And my father looks back at me He seems quite proud of the fact that he is now me Mirrors Mirrors don't lie Mirrors don't lie
