Strawbs - Why lyrics

Cousins Mirror, mirror, speak the truth I see my age but not my youth Pride comes before a fall The winner's eye is ever small. Why Why Why Why. I realise it's not too late ... (?) a penny on the plate ... (?) I feel so free So blind eyes can never see. Why Why Why Why. I keep on sliding down the wall Till I can't slide no more at all I can't climb back, I never could And I just won't try but I know I should. Why Why Why Why.
