[00:00.00]Elvis Costello - She Handed Me A Mirror
[00:10.00]
[00:14.86]She handed me a mirror
[00:21.21]That she had gazed upon
[00:27.16]The glass still held an image
[00:33.12]The glass still held an image
[00:39.31]But it was of a man
[00:43.89]I turned from the reflection
[00:49.67]To see who it might be
[00:55.14]Is that poor vanity
[01:00.15]Quite how she pictures me?
[01:05.56]She handed me a mirror
[01:12.09]Rather than tell me "no"
[01:17.91]She let slip a handkerchief
[01:24.63]Gentle laughter flowed
[01:30.16]Just as her lips bestowed
[01:34.92]A dashing word like "brother"
[01:40.83]The crushing word like "friend"
[01:46.71]If there was no beginning
[01:51.40]How could this be the end?
[01:56.94]She handed me a mirror
[02:03.61]So I could recognise
[02:09.48]The distance from my heart to hers
[02:15.50]The distance from my heart to hers
[02:22.17]The pity in her eyes
[02:26.74]She liked my pretty story
[02:32.76]I thanked her for her song
[02:38.62]And then I wrote a tale not very long to tell
[02:49.29]"You are much more than pretty. You are beautiful."
[03:01.48]
[03:17.26]She handed me mirror
[03:24.10]But I saw her instead
[03:29.98]She handed me a mirror
[03:36.66]She handed me a mirror
[03:43.16]And that is all she did...
