lyrics

I pried a picture from the cold dead hand of another man in a foreign land
Before I was 17
I signed the papers in my brother’s name – when I showed my hand I was on the plane
I bluffed my way into the game
When we won I brought the picture back of two younger girls with hair so perfect black
And I put it in a drawer
Facing down between a copper star and an old cigar I haven’t smoked so far
I just hold it to remember

‘Cause when I sit and look at photographs it feels like reading epitaphs
For the moments that have come to pass but never go away
If I hadn’t turned in time, his final stand could’ve well been mine
But it felt like an imperfect crime and it haunts me to this day

For 40 years I worked along the shore we didn’t have it all but never needed more
Just you and me and two girls of our own
Life is simple in this fishing town the girls are grown and now they’re not around
But we talk almost every day

And when I sit and look at photographs it feels like reading epitaphs
For all the moments that were meant to last - in frames out on display
It’s not like we were wasting time, I had your love and you had all of mine
It never felt like we had passed our prime – we’d earned the touch of grey

No you never even held the hand of another man so here I’ll stand
And love you even more tomorrow

When I sit and look at photographs it feels like reading epitaphs
For the moments that were gone too fast – I let them slip away
When you were running out of time I would have given you the rest of mine
But now your name is on this marble sign where I bring flowers everyday
