Borrowed Reflection Lyrics - Singles - Wild Strawberries

Like a cabbagetown rubby reaching for the copper on Bleeker Street 

Like a coconut commoner combing through the needles on any beach 

Like you want to know 

What you need to know 

Smiling to the camera 

Looking for the window that no one sees 

I want to go walking 

Walking with you 

Like a calico mother waiting for the moment to hold her knees 

Like my borrowed reflection crawls into the space of an empty sheet 

Like the world is your buoy 

And the moon is your defense 

Like the horror of the naked eye 

Looking at the mark of a leaky pen 

Cover me with pomegranates 

Till I see my royal partner 

I will be the queen of spades 

Then I will measure time 

As if it flowed from mirrors 

Under heaven's wake 

Like a blood-borne baby squints into the light and begins to breathe 

Like the moment I close my eyes on the edge of sleep 

Like the rumour of joy 

Or the musings of grief 

Dance with me a second time 

Till I feel the blood in my feet
