Look for me

Go look behind the mirrored glass
Tinted windows, underpass
Take the door behind the stair
Look for me, and I'll be there

In a misty, darkened room
Painted like a gypsies tomb
With reflections all around
If you look there, I'll be found

If you see my hair, my face
Beauty time will sure erase
They may show my body's might
Working hard, both day and night

If you see behind these eyes
Cold or laughing, warm or sly
If you're lucky, you'll be shown
What my soul will let be known

If you watch the words I say
Deeds of caring every day
Then you just might glimpse my heart...
Though it hides behind the dark

Every night and day, the same
All the earth does call my name
If you seek simplicity
Know that it is not in me

But if you crawl into my heart
Of me you will have a part
From now till my dying day
Harsh December, happy May

For my friends, I'd give my all
Just remember, if I fall
Every time you look at me
There are things you can not see

But look for me behind the stair
In the room with misty air
If you search with open mind....
Far more truth of me you'll find

"One of my overall favorites. I love the tune to this, it reminds me vaguely of the elves song in the hobbit, at least for a few notes. It still feels true to me, in so many ways, though perhaps a bit removed by time."
