The Best of Michael Franks: A Backward Glance lyrics

When I was a boy of twenty-two
I stood before a statue
Was it you?
They shake the fruit when they dance
You should try some when you have the chance.
Her face had no power to deceive

God nows I left no stone unturned.
Now I realize that at last
