Part of the lovesongs for the dead, a reflection on the living series
For Lou Reed (a Duet)
'If I could make this world as pure
And strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror
I keep in front of me
I keep in front of me'

Dun-dundundun
The light before dawn
The dark before dusk
The sea in the ocean
The ocean in the sea
A burning up ember
A melting flake of snow
Dun-dundundun
Dun-dundundun
You, you can be king
You, you can be queen
You can be kind
You can be mean
You could be winter in Bradford
You could be summer and Spain
You could be lost at sea on a ship
You could be lost in the sky in a plane
My head underwater
My head in the clouds
Innocent and reckless
Sinful and calculated
Full of the joys of spring
Under the leaves in autumn
The red red robin
The happy little bluebird
Over the rainbow
Under a bridge
The light in the oven
The light inside a fridge
Dun-dundundun
Dun-dundundun
The coal for the eyes of my snowman
The buttons for the eyes of my ragdoll
Your head in the gutter
Your eyes looking at the stars
A stitch in time
The seamless now and then
My today and tomorrow
My days outside of days
A cellist in Venice
A fiddler in Rome
Like a hole in the head
The wholeness of a hole
Dun-dundundun
Dun-dundundun
The deep dazzling darkness
The illuminating light
The nighttime in the day
The daytime in the night
The right place at the wrong time
The wrong place at the right time
Nighttime
And
Lighttime
You, you are my sunshine
You, you're the light shining on my moon
Like the ocean, under you I'll swoon
Waltzing to eternity's old tune
Dun-dundundun

I'll be your mirror
I'll be your mirror
I'll be your mirror
I'll be your mirror
I'll be your mirror
I'll be your mirror
I'll be your
I'll be your
I'll be your
I'll be your
I'll be
I'll be
I'll be
I'll be
I'll be
I'll be
Your mirror
