Mirror Mind - Jimmy Webb

When looking at your mirror mind

I never know what I will find

The images your eyes conceal

Will tell me how you really

But looking at you all I see

Is my face looking back at me

And like a piece of painted glass

You won’t let the sunlight pass

Inside

Where you live

Now!

You just sit behind your mirror mind

Let the sweet reflection shine

The things that play up on your face;

Reflections from another place

Images I’ve seen before

Empty patterns, nothing more

And like a slat of shining steel

You won’t tell me how you feel

Inside

Whre you live

And I could care

Darling I would share

I would let you see

Inside me

I sit before your mirror mind

Watch the empty channels wind

Marvel at the nothingness

And smile upon the emptiness

And weep because I’ll never know

The loveliness that sleeps below

For like a molten mirror, see

You throw my questions back at me

Inside

Where you live

And I, I could care

Yes, darling I could share

Darling, I could care
