Through the looking glass the proof in my own reflection

out the game of rejections in a cigarette city

But the Samaritan of the heartbroken, heartbroken

Resurrection in a trance, the model, the Grail,

In a Marquee of promises I touched the dream, I hold the dream,

I have the dream to end the Cinderella search,

Cinderella search, oh no more, no more!

  And would you leave a palace for a bed sit and Canterbury Tales

B           C#       D#m
Canterbury Tales?

B              C#               D#m
Maybe it was infatuation or the thrill of the chase?

B                       C#                   D#m
Maybe you were always beyond my reach and my heart was playing safe?

But was that love in your eye I saw or the reflection of mine?

Give me time, won't you give me that time!
