Irving Turn Of The Century Lyrics

Turn Of The Century lyrics

She was a hit at seventeen
four years on and she's waitressing
and she wants to know what ever happened
to the boy with the broken heart

She had a house out in Echo Park
I called her up as the day grew dark
and we talked about our favorite pictures
and on the change in the weather
And she said my how I have changed
She asked me if she looked different

She laughed passing it off on the turn of the century

She said her boyfriend was never home
[ From : http://www.elyrics.net/read/i/irving-lyrics/turn-of-the-century-lyrics.html ]
was up in San Francisco with his trombone
And she said she didn't date musicians
as she fixed us drinks in the kitchen

Then she showed me her favorite thing
A wooden box with her mothers' ring
And she said this wasn't something
that she showed just anyone
And she said my how I have change
She asked me if she looked different

She laughed passing it off on the turn of the century
