Reflections
[Intro]
[Verse]
An Autumn breeze
Disturbed the fallen leaves
I watched the sunset fading
Is my shadow growing taller
Or are the days getting shorter?
I don’t know anymore.
[Chorus]
Reflections
Breaking up softly in the rain
Every season leaves a memory
Every memory an indelible stain
Clothes can hide the damage
A face can mask surprise
But every mirror tells the truth
When I look into your eyes.
[Verse ]
Reflections of my life
Falling like the evening rain
Trying hard to keep it together
While my emotions ebb away
I need some kind of respite
From the thoughts inside my head
Sometimes silence is so much better
Than the words we never said.
[Bridge]
Maybe it's finally time to know
Why every road led me around
Buried underneath the weight
Was something waiting to be found
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Reflections
Breaking up softly in the rain
Every season leaves a memory
Every memory an indelible stain
Clothes can hide the damage
A face can mask surprise
But every mirror tells the truth
When I look into your eyes.
[Verse]
The stars keep spinning slowly
While the seasons slowly change
My old life crumbled away to dust
Now everything feels so strange
To be alone but not lonely
Words cannot describe that feeling
Or the exquisite pain of sublimation
The formation of a sovereign being
[Outro]
I watched the light fade on the horizon
And marvelled at the path I'd trodden
Reflections of my life...
Reflections of my life...

This is another old song from the 80's which I adapted to show that none of what I experienced was in vain. The fruit appears after formation, not before.
