Elvis Costello - She Handed Me A Mirror Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • She handed me a mirror
  • That she had gazed upon
  • The glass still held an image
  • The glass still held an image
  • But it was of a man
  • I turned from the reflection
  • To see who it might be
  • Is that poor vanity
  • Quite how she pictures me?
  • She handed me a mirror
  • Rather than tell me "no"
  • She let slip a handkerchief
  • Gentle laughter flowed
  • Just as her lips bestowed
  • A dashing word like "brother"
  • The crushing word like "friend"
  • If there was no beginning
  • How could this be the end?
  • She handed me a mirror
  • So I could recognise
  • The distance from my heart to hers
  • The distance from my heart to hers
  • The pity in her eyes
  • She liked my pretty story
  • I thanked her for her song
  • And then I wrote a tale not very long to tell
  • "You are much more than pretty. You are beautiful."
  • She handed me mirror
  • But I saw her instead
  • She handed me a mirror
  • She handed me a mirror
  • And that is all she did...
