lyrics

Gaze in my mirror, see what I see
Velveteen eyes of the counterfeit kind
And a face I no longer believe

Dawn broke in England, promise of rain
Word on the wind of a storm headed east
Blowing cold in the hills far away

I dreamed I was dancing on frozen water
And there you were under the ice
Out of reach just there in sight
I cried and I cried and I cried

Lights in the theatre dimmed for the scene
Lift up the mask and unveil the old heart
Of the man I no longer believe

Out on into the night, set the lanterns alight
You have nowhere to bury my truth
I'm there in the glass and you know in your heart
Why I'm pointing my finger at you

I dreamed I was dancing on frozen water
And there you were under the ice
Out of reach just there in sight
I cried and I cried and I cried

The days of the past sank deep in my heart
You're drowning in phases
I can't reach out and save you
Or break through the ice
Thaw it from my mind

I dreamed I was dancing on frozen water
And there you were under the ice
Out of reach just there in sight
I cried and I cried and I cried

I dreamed I was dancing on frozen water
And there you were under the ice
Out of reach just there in sight
I cried and I cried and I cried
