Molly In The Mirror Lyrics - Joshua Kadison

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 reflecting in the Seine, you know 

To climb the Eiffel Tower with the city lights sparking below 

Oh, now they're just some tired cliches 

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 cliches 

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 cliches 

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
