This Side Of The Looking Glass Chords

(ver. 1)
Peter Hammill
       G#         Eb              C#          G#
The stars in the heavens still shine up above me
       C#          B
How lovely they'd seem if you were with me...
                Ebm             C#
But you're gone through the looking-glass
      B                                Bb
And I am left to pass these nights alone
     G#        Eb       C#            G#                  C#
I'm lost, I'm dumb, I'm blind.  I am drunk with sadness, sunk by madness
       B                     Ebm
The wave overwhelms me, the mirror repels me
       C#          B                                               Bb
The echo of your laugh drifts through the looking-glass and I am alone

    Ebm       Bb                Ebm       C#          B           Bb
No friendship, no comfort, no future, no home.  The past lingers with me:
                C#              D            C#         B  Bb
You're all the love I've ever known and without you I'm nothing
     Ebm         Bb     Ebm            Bb       Ebm
But empty and silent reflecting on all that I've lost
Ebm        C#           B       Bb
I let you slip away so soon

Bb   B   Bb   G#     Bb  B  Bb  G#
Can you hear me?  This is my song:
B     Em     B         Em
I am dying, you are gone.

       G#           Eb                   C#
These words are not enough to save my soul
          G#                C#
They just mock me from the mirror
      B                         Ebm
I'm cold and I'm yearning, I've told you I'm burning
    C#
My eyes can't stand the light...
         B                              Bb
Like a stray dog in the night I'll shuffle off alone
   Ebm             Bb       Ebm      C#
We all make our futures but I have lost mine
    Ebm       Bb                Ebm       Bb
I'm hoping for a miracle but finding no sign...

     B                  Bb                      B                   C#
The stars in their constellations, each one just sadly flickers and falls
    B                   Bb        Ebm
Without you, they mean nothing at all.
