Ooooooooh
I'm caught up in the middle
But I'll take it to the end
It's coming back together
And it's breaking down again
If I could find a reason
I'd say you were my friend
If I could find a reason
I'd say it once again
When I'm with you
The days are bittersweet
I still can't remember
What it feels to be complete
Yeaaaah
I've tried pretending
But it drops off my feet
I don't know what it's coming to
But I'm looking through the glass darkly
Yeaaaaaaah
Yeaaaaaaah
Oooooooo
Bright lights come and go
Playing blue songs on my radio
Shadows still appear
In the house tonight
Ghosts that come in from the past
All those ghosts that keep on coming back

Sliding through the walls and my windows
Ooh yeah
When I'm with you
The nights are cold and long
Still can't remember
What it feels like to be strong
I've tried to blend in
But it seems I don't belong
I don't know what it's coming to
But I'm looking through the glass darkly
Yeaaaaaah
Yeaaaaaah
Yeaaaaaah
Can I find you
Can I find you
I can't find you
Yeah
Yeah
I can't find you
Can I find you
Can I find you
I can't find you
Yeah
Yeah
I can't find you
I can't find you oooh

Annie Lennox is an award-winning singer, songwriter and activist who has sold over 80 million records worldwide between her solo work and the duo Eurythmics. At seventeen, Lennox won a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music to become a flutist, but dropped out after feeling that classical music was “far too competitive” and “didn’t fit my kind of personality”.

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.
