On Reflection (excerpted) Songtext
von Gentle Giant

In my way did I use you, do you think I really abused you
On reflection now it doesn′t matter
How can you say I made you need me more than anyone else
Who can say it now it's finished over
It′s my act, it's my calling, I explained exactly the falling
Different ways of life can never even
Be the same when you saw me, could you always take me the same way
As I came and went I tried to remember you

Still you stay
Tied in your way
Changing times
Watching the signs


How
Could you see in me
What you thought about
All you want me to be
Now
On reflection why should have I changed my ways for you
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around

Cry my sympathy's with you but I never lied to you all in all
It seems it′s just an experience
Placed my cards on the table told of everything I was able
Understanding still not anything different
Find another to lean on, start again for I should have long gone
On reflection now it′s just an experience
Soon the pain will have ended, together never intended
As I come and go I'll try to remember you

Still you stay
Tied in your way
Changing times
Watching the signs


How
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around -

I′ll remember the good things how can you forget
All the years that we shared in our way
Things were changing my life, taking your place
In my life and our time drifting away

I'll remember the good things how can you forget
All the years that we shared in our way
Things were changing my life, taking your place
In my life and our time drifting away

Look back it′s not your game
Together just in name

I'll remember the good things how can you forget
All the years that we shared in our way
Things were changing my life, taking your place
In my life and our time drifting away

I′ll remember the good things how can you forget
All the years that we shared in our way
Things were changing my life, taking your place
In my life and our time drifting away

I'll remember the good things how can you forget
All the years that we shared in our way
Things were changing my life, taking your place
In my life and our time drifting away

All around, all around
All around, all around

All around, all around
All around, all around

All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
All around, all around
