This Side of the Looking Glass Peter Hammill
The stars in the heaven[G#]s still shi[Eb]ne up above me[C#] [G#]
How lov[C#]ely they'd s[B]eem if you were with me...
But you're gone [Ebm]through the look[C#]ing-glass
And I [B]am left to pass these nights alon[Bb]e
I'm l[G#]ost, I'm d[Eb]umb, I'm [C#]blind. I am d[G#]runk with sadness, s[C#]unk by madness
The wav[B]e overwhelms me, the m[Ebm]irror repels me
The ech[C#]o of your la[B]ugh drifts through the looking-glass and I am al[Bb]one
No f[Ebm]riendship,[Bb] no comfort, no fu[Ebm]ture, no h[C#]ome. The pa[B]st lingers w[Bb]ith me:
You're all the l[C#]ove I've ever kn[D]own and witho[C#]ut you I'm [B]not[Bb]hing
But e[Ebm]mpty and sil[Bb]ent ref[Ebm]lecting on all [Bb]that I've[Ebm] lost
[Ebm]I let you s[C#]lip away so s[B]oon[Bb]
[Bb]Can y[B]ou h[Bb]ear m[G#]e? Thi[Bb]s is[B] my[Bb] son[G#]g:
[B]I am d[Em]ying, y[B]ou are gon[Em]e.
These w[G#]ords are not [Eb]enough to save my sou[C#]l
They just [G#]mock me from the m[C#]irror
I'm co[B]ld and I'm yearning, I've [Ebm]told you I'm burning
My e[C#]yes can't stand the light...
Like a st[B]ray dog in the night I'll shuff[Bb]le off alone
We [Ebm]all make our fut[Bb]ures but [Ebm]I have lo[C#]st mine
I'm [Ebm]hoping for[Bb] a miracle but fin[Ebm]ding no si[Bb]gn...
The s[B]tars in their const[Bb]ellations, each one just[B] sadly flickers and [C#]falls
With[B]out you, they mean n[Bb]othing at [Ebm]all.
