The Blink of Julia’s Eye

I drove past her house today
Her father was standing guard
I don’t think he recognized me
I don’t think he knows my car

He’d set up by the window
Count the minutes to midnight
She was my secret Cinderella
Til the slippers got too tight

Chorus:
Clock strikes midnight
I better go inside
Will you call me tomorrow
Morning
Didn’t the years fly by
17 turned into 45
In the blink of Julia’s eye
The blink of Julia’s eye

I hope she’s doing alright
Haven’t seen her in a while
I wonder if she’s still married
If he ever makes her smile

Wonder if she ever found
The life she was looking for
The dreaming is always easy
It’s the living that gets hard

Bridge:
It’s the same old story
It’s the same old song
A hundred thousand rights
Can’t get you past one wrong

Chorus:
Clock strikes midnight
I better go inside
Will you call me tomorrow
Morning
Didn’t the years fly by
17 turned into 45
In the blink of Julia’s eye
The blink of Julia’s eye

I drove by her house today
Her father was in the yard
I don’t think he recognized me
I don’t think he knows my scars
