The Human League - Reflections lyrics

Outside the last remaining shadows of the day Too vague to make out De Chirico has packed his case and left Abandoning his stakeout Inside the music and the lights unite To overpower the fading day In here with you beside me, warm and dry and safe My mind begins to stray (I see reflections of what was and what could be In dark and light they dance around me Ambition, memories, fears, hope and fantasies) Crucial words never said All the good that you spread Each a fragment of meaning to me Who else amongst the dancing crowd Can share the sense that we are falling Above the sound who else can hear and see The fates as they are calling That vision is a blessing, is an error Time can only sweep away Insight is there to guide us We ignore its message in our own display (I see reflections of the people we could be A million faces now surround me Beloved, abandoned, fortunate, or refugee) There were tears in the night Summer days without end Each a fragment of meaning to me From the birth of a child To the loss of a friend Each a fragment of meaning to me (Demons of the mind Demons of the mind Demons of the mind Demons of the mind Demons of the mind Demons of the mind) (I see reflections of what was and what could be In dark and light they dance around me Ambition, memories, fears, hope, and fantasies) Crucial words never said All the good that you spread Each a fragment of meaning to me All the tears that you weep All the love that you keep Just a piece of the meaning to me Crucial words never said All the love that you spread Each a fragment of meaning to me The confusion and pain The contentment again Just a piece of the meaning to me
