Person With A Past - The Roches

Looking in the mirror

What do you see

From another era

A face baby

A waste maybe

Of a chance never had

A history

Of romance gone bad

Who can be a lover

How long can it last

Anything but hover

Seems like moving too fast

Going undercover

With a person with a past

Seems like only yesterday

You were just a child

Until up irreversibly

All o' this sadness piled

Mistakes when you were fighting

Your way out of your bag

Has loneliness moonlighting

Made of you a hag

Who can be.

.

You say you want to see me

My number you desire

You make it sound so easy

Like slumbering in fire

I’m offering a warning

Where you can put your trust

And thank me in the morning

When ashes turn to dust

Who can be.
