Mirror Blues

by mckavanaugh

I seen you in your mirror
It’s a shame that you don’t look like me
I seen you in your mirror
It’s a shame that you don’t look like me
You can grow your beard and wear a wig
That just won’t make it be

I been looking in your heart
Expecting a deeper well
I been looking in your heart
Expecting a deeper well
Your clam’s about been shucked, boy
Just an empty shell

I been knockin at your door
Can you tell me is there anybody home
I been knockin at your door
Can you tell me is there anybody home
Well, if you don’t get up and answer
You’re bound to wail and moan

I can tell what you’re thinking
You don’t have to say a word
I can tell what you’re thinking
You don’t have to say a word
Better straighten out your mind, son
Guess whose voice you’ve heard

You think you know what’s happening
But you haven’t got a clue
You think you know what’s happening
But you haven’t got a clue
I – I am sending you My Spirit
He’ll show you what to do

I can hear, hear your voice
But you know it doesn’t sound like mine
I can hear, hear your voice
But you know it doesn’t sound like mine
Keep a watch on what you’re saying
Things will work out fine
