Plunkett - Picture lyrics

rate me

Hang a picture on a wall

And leave it there

For twenty years

Then look at it again

The colours once were bright and new

For a while

Clear and true

Then they fade gently away

I close my eyes

When I was young just a boy

I used to play with toys

Truly fantasise

I miss that sometimes

Staying out at my grandfolks house

Playing in the stream

Climbing up the trees

No thoughts of an end

album '14 Days' 2005

I close my eyes

And search for how it really was

Watch the colours slowly turning

Take them back to how they used to be

I feel them now slowly moving inside of me

I see them as they were happening

They're close but just not as bright

Let me feel again how they used to be

The shapes remain but the colour's changed

The image here

Of when I was there

It's not quite how it was

Remember how the water clear

Passed my legs

The cool fresh air

I can feel it

But not from there

I close my eyes

And search for how it felt that time

Just for a little while

Eyes closed

It goes so far then falls apart

How I'd love to feel there again

Feel it true

Bright and new

Watch the colours slowly turning

Take me back to how I used to feel

I feel it now slowly moving inside of me

I see things as they were happening

It's close but just not quite right

Let me feel again how I used to be
