An image from a long, long time ago
Is haunting me, it plays itself
With picture perfect clarity
A certain walk, a certain talk
Forever twenty-three
For only me to see
I watch it like a movie
The details so consume me
What's real will surface when it's gone
(And then it's gone)
By now you've heard the news
What is there left to do
I watch it like a movie
The details so consume me
What's real will surface when it's gone
(and then it's gone)
Your face looks so familiar
Unwashed and quite peculiar
No I can't say that I recall
I guess it's gone
Is haunting me, it plays itself
With picture perfect clarity
A certain walk, a certain talk
Forever twenty-three
For only me to see
I watch it like a movie
The details so consume me
What's real will surface when it's gone
(And then it's gone)
By now you've heard the news
What is there left to do
I watch it like a movie
The details so consume me
What's real will surface when it's gone
(and then it's gone)
Your face looks so familiar
Unwashed and quite peculiar
No I can't say that I recall
I guess it's gone
