pictures_of_you
girl_jane I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

pobodys nerfect weird. I was just talking about this a few days ago at my other place. I'd heard them on that hp camera commercial and wondered if it was The Cure that I'd been hearing. When I did a search to find the rest of the lyrics,I fell in love with them. I can most relate to the opening sentence, "I've been looking so long at these pictures of you that I almost believe that they're real..." Heaven help me,I wish with all my heart that they were,even for just five minutes. :( 040104

quotree It’s just pictures of you with a knife in your hand
With a rose in your teeth lying nude in the sand
It’s just pictures of you, standing high on a cliff
With the wind in your hair, and a smile on your lips
And your eyes were so wild, when you started to laugh
Blending in with the wind, sounded just like a scream
Why do pictures of you
Come to me when I dream
In darkness

fairbecca I put the pictures side by side.
Dad's, with his full mustache, welfare glasses, big nose, and yours. You were only six or so. You had put on a pair of "Groucho Marx" fake nose and glasses, lifed your arms up to the heavens and grinned as big as the sky.
Even the Gods are smiling at this one.
I'm pleased to see our family
resemble one another...finally.
