  • My favorite picture of you
    Is the one where you're staring
    Straight into the lens

    It's just a polaroid shot
    Someone took on the spot
    No beginning no end

    It's just a moment in time
    You can't have back
    You never left but your bags were packed
    Just in case

    My favorite picture of you
    Is bent and faded
    And it's pinned to my wall

    Oh and you were so angry
    It's hard to believe
    We were lovers at all

    There's a fire in your eyes
    You've got your heart on your sleeve
    A curse on your lips but all I can see
    Is beautiful

    My favorite picture of you
    Is the one where
    Your wings are showing

    Oh and your arms are crossed
    Your fists are clenched
    Not gone but going

    Just a stand up angel
    Who won't back down
    Nobody's fool, nobody's clown
    You were smarter than that

    My favorite picture of you
    Is the one where
    It hasn't rained yet

    Oh and as I recall
    Came a winter squall
    And we got soaking wet

    It's a thousand words
    In the blink of an eye
    The camera loves you and so do I
    Click

    My favorite picture of you
    Is the one where you're staring
    Straight into the lens Writer/s: Gordie Sampson, Guy Clark
