This Is A Photograph II

(앨범: More Photographs (A Continuum) - 2023)

This is a photograph, a dark horse from your past galloping back
Open up your mouth and laugh, at all the ugly people living in a photograph

If you go reaching for your past, make sure your grip is iron clad
Open up your mouth don't laugh, at all the pretty people living in a photograph

This is your father in the West Texas dirt
This is your mother young and in a skirt
This is time as it's starting to flirt with the abyss now
Give me a kiss now

This is a clipper ship, this is its sail
This is the hull or hell starting to swell
Heaven's empty but can we make it?
This is us standing here naked

This is the siren that sounds after a war
This is the sky with a murmur of birds
This is where we once were
This is returning to earth

And this is what I'll miss about being alive
And this is what I'll miss after I die

This is a photograph
This is a photograph
This is a photograph
This is a photograph

If you go reaching for your past, make sure your grip is iron clad
Open up your mouth don't laugh, at all the pretty people living in a photograph
