Irving - 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 pa**ing it off on the turn of the century She said her boyfriend was never home 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 pa**ing it off on the turn of the century
