Lyrics
I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions Whatever you see I swallow immediately Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike I am not cruel, only truthful--- The eye of a little god, four-cornered Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long I think it is a part of my heart. But it flickers Faces and darkness separate us over and over Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me Searching my rеaches for what she really is Thеn she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon I see her back, and reflect it faithfully She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands I am important to her. She comes and goes Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish
