Reflections
(专辑: About That Man - 1970)
Last night I
had a
dream, Through a
swirling fog I
walked along on the
edge of a
stream, I
heard somebody groan, I
stopped, looked into a
pool, And I
saw the
reflection of a
fool I
saw the
reflection of a
fool. Dragging him by his throat Were the
collar and the
links of a
chain, On his shoulders a
coat, On his feet shoes of pain, The
coat was strife, The
chain was pride, I
saw the
reflection, and I
cried I
saw the
reflection, and I
cried Tears for myself a
fool, A
man chained by independence, Gripped by despair so cruel, My life was a
lot of nonsense, My eyes were closed, but in my mind, I
saw the
reflection so unkind, I
saw the
reflection so unkind Sick of life scared of death My days just one long futility, Feeling my emptiness, I
cried "God set me free", I
looked once more I
don't know how, But I
saw the
reflection changing now, I
saw the
reflection changing now A
man was in my place A
man with holes in his hands and side, A
man I
could not face, The
man I
had crucified, On him was my coat, My chains and my shoes, And between reflections I
must choose, Between reflections I
must choose,
