[Verse 1]

She played the part of a virgin

She played it all too well

In real life she was a veteran

In the wars of kiss and tell

Outside the dirty Harlem streets

The dirty buy and sell

I said, "How can you look out the window

And only see yourself?"

[Chorus]

Through the mirror darkly

Through the looking glass

Through the eye of the needle

This too shall pass... through

[Verse 2]

"Someday I want children

But not at this point in time"

She spoke it like a lawyer

I took it as a sign

But there was a longing in her voice

The long and painful choice

Something shatterеd deep inside

So far away from the noise

[Chorus]

Through thе mirror darkly

Through the looking glass

Through the eye of the needle

This too shall pass... through

[Verse 3]

I was far away, so far

When I heard what she had done

But it was not my star

Laid out on the horizon

Only half have the nerve

Only half have the heart

Only half get what they deserve

Out on that boulevard

[Chorus]

Through the mirror darkly

Through the looking glass

Through the eye of the needle

This too shall pass... through

[Outro]

Through

Through

Through

Through

Through

Through

Through

Through

Through

Through
