Just to get it out there..

A fragment of a song I wrote eleven years ago at the end of a major relationship. Its taken me this long to get around to making some kind of a recording of it. Has a countryesque tinge to it. There were others on the C90 tape I recorded back then but with this one I'm working on the principle that if a melody or a song remains in your head after a long time then there has to be some kind of merit to it so I'm finally putting it out there. Not that I'd call myself a singer anyway so excuse the vocals but its just how the creative process can be fired up by personal events.

I'll Be Your Mirror. Reflect What You Are, In Case You Don't Know..

Lyrics:

(Lou Reed)

I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you

I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you

I'll be your mirror
(reflect what you are)
