Looking Glass - Darrell Scott

Feels like someone’s looking over my shoulder

I turn around and no ones there

Looking glass is looking older and older

And lately I don’t care

Looking glass can’t you see what I’ve been through?

Slowly giving myself away

Run from the past, run for the future

And miss the sweet smell of today

I play this song on my own piano

It helps makes sense of the shape I’m in

I open the doors on a cool rainy morning

Songs come riding on the wind

Take me away over clouds of sorrow

I guess I’ll ride it one more time

Go through the deluge to get to the promise

Songs are rainbows in the sky

Human longing for inspiration

Woman painting canvas across the street

Got an old slouchy had and a cold like Renoir

Think I’ll bring her a cup of tea

Maybe light is the absence of shadow

Maybe shadow needs a place to sleep

Oh, we shine our light as much as we’re going to

The rest the cats and angels keep

Me and this song, we’ve got a lot in common

Neither knows quite how to end

Just follow along like a leaf on the river

Believe we always can begin again
