Trembling Blue Stars

Old Photographs

Album: Lips That Taste Of Tears [1998]
Author: Bobby Wratten

I fell in love with you

Then I fell in love with, too

Everything you'd ever done

And old photographs

They just made me love you more

Now they have me longing for

A place I'll never hear your name

Your past as well as you

Captured my heart, too

Everyone you'd ever been

On your way to me

You I couldn't know enough about

But your life now

I'm hurt by the smallest detail

I read words you wrote in a diary years ago

That I loved because they were yours

And they're now words that have me think

"There she is" - that show me the you I miss

Whose return I'm always waiting for

I may not have changed as much

But I'm not quite who I was when together we were

For I can see I pushed for years

I'm haunted now by every tear

Every single tear I caused you

For one thing I would chase you

I'd chase you now
