Lyr Req: Over My Shoulder

Subject: Lyr Req: Over My Shoulder
From: GUEST,Daniel

First time poster, long time follower. Searching for full lyrics for a tune I heard in the 1990s in New England folk scene. Can't be sure whether it's older than that or was passed around to the artists I was hearing, but I also can't recall who I heard sing it. Melody has stuck with me for years. Anyone know it?

VERSE:
You were walking down Main Street dressed up for the kill
Time hadn't changed you, time never will
I almost stepped up when you stopped for the light
But something inside me said it just wasn't right.

CHORUS:
So I walked away like I did long ago
Without looking over my shoulder
No words of greeting, no kind face to show.
Just feeling a little bit older.

OTHER VERSES?
