- On Reflection Lyrics / with translationsAnd on reflection
I thought I knew you
But as they all say
You always lose
You find the right face
In every street cafe
I though I knew the score
But I was wrong again
And when old friends
All seem ex-directory
And when friendship
Seems harder to dial
Then sometimes
Like a 'B' movie ending
I see life
As a series of old cliches
She had the perfect smile
Oh I can see her now
In every movie ad
And every back street bar
I was enchanted
In every single way
She kept the key but she
Didn't want to stay
Do you remember
When we were oh so young
We saw no end to time
Our love could never die
Now I'm an old man
Too old for crazy games
But I'll still dream of you
Until your image fades
