From the recording Saturn Song

Neal Dimick - vocals, guitar

This is a very old song, about my first love. I play it on the twelve string guitar.

Lyrics

1. Photographs, and bits of brown paper,
faded dreams and oh!
I have been wondering of your welfare
Tell me of the new love you've found
Lady-oh

2. Time goes and time has its reasons
Leaves them not with me!
But the passing of our season
Was a time I wished never to see
Come and go

Chorus 1
I could've been the one

to paint pretty pictures
tack them to your name
If you'd have been the one
to wear my colours and frame

You know I only asked just to last forever,
know no loss or gain
Live in your laughter and never
cause you pain

3. Fools and children have their guardians
Shouldn't dreams have theirs too?
Still, better this, than to be unmarked
Never have loved
you

Chorus 2
I offer you this tattered picture
Blazoned with your name
With time, my colours have faded
But never changed

And that love abides where it lasts forever
It whispers in the rain
And dances in a laughter
that I may never hear again

Coda
Oh, what I'd give
to see you again
