The Selecter - Red Reflections lyrics

Stretched out on the sofa Making witty conversation Instant coffee in the cups Then the milk went sour Now honesty was all I wanted Enough warmth to mix it right Didn't want my loving on the rocks But couldn't melt the ice Then the door shut And the mirror falls My jagged image Rests against the wall And I see Red reflections in the mirror of the night The mirror shows all your secrets Puts all your fears on view It always plays its jokes Only when you're looking at you And if loneliness was a colour It would be white But all I see is red reflections In the mirror of the night The mirror shows all your secrets Puts all your fears on view The darkness lights your eyes In the quiet I hear a thousand sighs Then the door slams shut And the mirror falls My jagged image Rests against the wall And I see Red reflections in the mirror of the night
