Red Reflections - The Selecter

Stretched out on the sofa

Making witty conversation

Instant coffee in the cups

Then the milk went sour

Now honesty was all I wanted

Enough warmth to mix it right

Didn’t want my loving on the rocks

But couldn’t melt the ice

Then the door shut

And the mirror falls

My jagged image

Rests against the wall

And I see

Red reflections in the mirror of the night

The mirror shows all your secrets

Puts all your fears on view

It always plays its jokes

Only when you’re looking at you

And if loneliness was a colour

It would be white

But all I see is red reflections

In the mirror of the night

The mirror shows all your secrets

Puts all your fears on view

The darkness lights your eyes

In the quiet I hear a thousand sighs

Then the door slams shut

And the mirror falls

My jagged image

Rests against the wall

And I see

Red reflections in the mirror of the night
