๐ Lyrics
Today I took your picture down
And carried it away
It's meaning long forgotten now
Forgotten let it stay
His welcome worn to weariness
His thousand words all said
A keepsake keeps a love alive
But shrines a form of death
Today I turned my back upon the celebrated face
That stole a piece of every soul that wandered through this place
That seemed so like a living thing
All converstion died
Or turned to face what must have been the artist's joy and pride
Today I took your picture down
The coolly painted lips
That spoke without a sound
The eyes that followed me around
Daring me to try and stare them down
Instrumental
Today I took your picture down
The coolly painted lips that spoke without a sound
The eyes that followed me around
Daring me to try to stare them down
Today I took your picture down
And every line intact
But something soft had gone from it
That never can come back
Some warm familiarity
Grown distant now and cold
Today I took your picture down
One of us had to go
And carried it away
It's meaning long forgotten now
Forgotten let it stay
His welcome worn to weariness
His thousand words all said
A keepsake keeps a love alive
But shrines a form of death
Today I turned my back upon the celebrated face
That stole a piece of every soul that wandered through this place
That seemed so like a living thing
All converstion died
Or turned to face what must have been the artist's joy and pride
Today I took your picture down
The coolly painted lips
That spoke without a sound
The eyes that followed me around
Daring me to try and stare them down
Instrumental
Today I took your picture down
The coolly painted lips that spoke without a sound
The eyes that followed me around
Daring me to try to stare them down
Today I took your picture down
And every line intact
But something soft had gone from it
That never can come back
Some warm familiarity
Grown distant now and cold
Today I took your picture down
One of us had to go
