The Light Is Sharp — and the face is mine
No notes yet — be the first.
The song is on YouTube: watch the video.
A Balkan ballad in front of the hallway mirror at seven — the light is sharp and it doesn’t flatter. The refrain is ours: the face is mine, and it’s awake with me.
The lyric
[verse]
The mirror in the hallway is a truthful kind of friend
It shows me what the year has kept and what it couldn't spend
The light is sharp at seven, it doesn't flatter anyone
But the grey around the eyes is mine, and it's not running from
[chorus]
The light is sharp, the glass is clear
I'm not younger than I was last year
But I'm here in the morning, and I can see
The face is mine, and it's awake with me
[verse]
The river takes the evening, the morning takes the rest
The mirror doesn't judge it, it just shows me what is left
[bridge]
I don't ask the mirror for a promise or a lie
I only ask it: who is this, and why
[chorus]
The light is sharp, the glass is clear
I'm not younger than I was last year
But I'm here in the morning, and I can see
The face is mine, and it's awake with me
[outro]
The light is sharp
and the face is mine
