Mirror In The Dark Lyrics

When I left here the mirrors were turned to the wall

Back home after twenty two years nothing's changed at all

Daddy died suddenly when I was only ten

Mirrors to the wall or souls get trapped within

It's the same way I left it here in 1901

No different than the day the funeral was done

I'm staring at the mirror sitting in the dark

Outside the children play while neighborhood dogs all bark

Nothing in the darkness scares me anymore

Not even unexplained footsteps echoing up through the floors

I'm staring at myself in the mirror in the dark

My brother stayed behind with mom to run this farm

Now I'm widowed just like mother got a child hanging on each arm

We've no where else to go I hope they're up for change

Once again children's voices fill up the range

All through the walls of this house

That sat like a forgotten lighthouse beckoning me back home

I'm staring at the mirror sitting in the dark

Outside the children play while neighborhood dogs all bark

Nothing in the darkness scares me anymore

Not even unexplained footsteps echoing up through the floors

I'm staring at myself in the mirror in the dark
