lyrics

Still Life

Like pictures at an exhibition, I’m looking at you
So many pictures in my mind, but this one’s new
Your face more fully in the frame
And in your eyes there’s a naked flame
But all that burns are all the pictures that I held before

You are still life, still breath
Still love, still my love

Walking down the hallways of my heart
So many pictures could explode apart
Paintings of the narrow view
Pictures of the truth askew
All the wars we waded through
And then there’s you and something new

You are still life, still breath
Still love, still my love

The truest picture of them all
The one for the centre of my wall
Shows the little sparrow footprints round your eyes
And all the furrows and the dimples and the lines
Your face a map, that brings us back

You are still life, still breath
Still love, still my love
