Reflections are Protections

Leaves, please be my light filter

Shine, make me a shelter to hide

Cos love makes you lose your sight

And now the search party's on its way

And the floodlight's on my face

All the shadows that I walk in

Are just my volatile second skin



My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

When you're ready come in to the light



Lines, design a pathway

Shine, cut out the dark shapes to find

Although I've really tried

Only time is a lover's guide

And now the railings fall away

And the stencils draw a face

Our outlines in the sunset

Are just a fragile silhouette



My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

When you're ready come in to the light



My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

If you leave me I'll go back to hide
