Hi Wolfgang!

My friend just brought in the tapes of the McEvoy LP recordings and I think I have most of Reflections figured out except for a word or two which I think will come soon.

REFLECTIONS by Johnny McEvoy

Your years are but few but your thoughts have long grown old,
Because of your tears, your soul has long grown cold,
You tremble with fear the long night draws near and settles deep down inside you,
And (? ?) to have nothing to do but to hold on to those all around you.

Your eyes are now clouded with mist that comes from your mind,
You're searching for something that's yours but you know you won't find,
But into the darkness you enter and hope that someone will come,
And all about your eyes with whispers and sighs and leave you alone with the dawn.

(Three loud, moaning echoes)

No more will you open the red ribbon thoughts of your dreams,
'Cause wise men have said that nothing's as real as it seems,
The search will soon end and then you will see the reason for crying is gone,
And then you will find that although you are (?youth?) you are not really that much alone.

I hope this will help. I think I will be able to make out the missing words if I listen when I am not so tired. Will send them on when I do.

Blessings
