Joshua Kadison - Molly in the Mirror lyrics

rate me

Molly's in the attic as the sun goes down

Looking through some boxes for her wedding gown

Now she's standing in the mirror in dusty white

Talkin' to herself in the rusty light

She says

"I've never been to Paris but I've wanted to go

To see the moon reflected in the Seine, you know,

To climb the Eiffel Tower with the city lights sparking below

"Oh, now they're just some tired cliché–Ÿ

Just some wrinkles that the mirror betrays

Singin, "Old woman, old woman

What have you done with your days?"

"Old woman, old woman

What have you done with your days?"

"I've never been to Venice but my dreams are divine

Riding gondolas under lantern shine

Listening to guitars and sipping sweet Italian wine

"Oh, now they're just some tired cliché–Ÿ

Just some wrinkles that the mirror betrays

Singin, "Old woman, old woman

What have you done with your days?"

"Old woman, old woman

What have you done with your days?"

"I was a wife, I raised a child

But in my dreams I still go running wild

It's a good life, I see my friends

But can this be how all my dreaming end?

"I've never seen Morocco like the things I had planned

To savor all the spices in that faraway land

To buy a silk sarong and wear it dancing in the sand

"Oh, now they're just some tired cliché–Ÿ

Just some wrinkles that the mirror betrays

Singin, "Old woman, old woman

What have you done with your days?"

"Old woman, old woman

What have you done with your days?"

"Old woman, old woman

What have you done with your days?"

Molly's in the mirror as the sun goes down

Talking to herself in her wedding gown
