In The Mirror
Patrick Cannell © 2021
I can't believe that it was you last night,
When the full moon lit a path to my door.
You were howling like a beast of prey,
Oh no I've never seen you like that before.
You can practise all your life
And never get it right
In the mirror.
You can practise all you can
To be a better man
In the mirror.
So much for Sunday school and noble words
And all those sermons about standing our ground.
When hammers hit the anvil of desire
You can hear the clang for miles around.
You can practise all your life
And never get it right
In the mirror.
You can practise all you can
To be a better man
In the mirror.
