Caught in my mirror, the sun Stares with his one crazy eye From a burning blue sky And we walked on and on Darling you turned twenty one
Trying to get everything done Out in the distance the haze And the long summer days And they beat like a drum Darling you turned twenty one
All that this heart of mine Could never maintain I felt like it never would change
Then I was alone in your room You’d been out spending my time Where the flowers of crime Hide away in the gloom I was left thinking of you
You got back and I just sat While you lied in my face Looking back on a world turned to waste Oh, now that it’s over and gone I get a picture of you On some broad avenue With the night coming on Darling you turned twenty one
