The water shines A pebble skips across the face A dozen times Then disappears, not a trace Left behind The thrower turns and walks away A change of mind Another start, a brand new day You know I'll change If change is what you require Your every wish Your every dream, hope, desire Here comes the mirror man Says he's a people fan Here comes the mirror man And if it seems I'm not the one you used to know Our little friendship Left behind not long ago Don't feel too hurt As distance heals the strongest pain Things are much better now And just the nagging doubt remains You know I'll change If change is what you require Your every wish Your every dream, hope, desire Here comes the mirror man Says he's a people fan Here comes the mirror man Here comes the mirror man Says he's a people fan Here comes the mirror man Here comes the mirror man Says he's a people fan Here comes the mirror man Here comes the mirror man Says he's a people fan Here comes the mirror man
