Woman Looking Back at Me

from Big Time Baby by Lesley Barth

/

lyrics

There’s a layer under a layer
Under the layer of my skin.
There’s a story behind the story
Behind the story of my sins.


And I’ve looked at this square so long
Just thinking it’s a triangle.
And I’ve looked at my face so long
Craning my neck for the right angle.


But who is the who looking back
At the woman looking back at me?
Who is the who looking back
At the woman looking back at me?

There’s a memory before the memory
Before the memory of my youth.
We’re all outlines within the outline,
And we keep searching for some truth.

And I’ve looked at this square so long
Just thinking it’s a triangle.
And I’ve looked at my face so long
Craning my neck for the right angle.

But who is the who looking back
At the woman looking back at me?
Who is the who looking back
At the woman looking back at me?

Mirrors within mirrors -
How our reflections curve and bend!
And each end brings us to the beginning
And we all go round again!


Who is the who looking back
At the woman looking back at me?
Who is the who looking back
At the woman looking back at me?
