The Walls - Thanks For The Photographs lyrics

rate me

thanks for the photographs

they made me laugh and they made me cry

remember when the days melted into one

you lost your job and got another one

nobody was serious for very long

that was some holiday

four young studs with all the love in the world

when they kicked us out and closed up the bars

we lay on the beach and just watched the stars

you could just about hear a far-off guitar

CHORUS

the days are long the nights too short

can we get together and make it last till it’s gone

we wake beneath a lemon sky

two of us together like devils in disguise

I still remember her skin

brown from the sun and it shone

in the dark of the room we were in

she was from the German city of Cologne

we exchanged letters for a month or so

then i forgot about her till a moment ago

CHORUS

do you get to choose your life?

you think about it when things don’t turn out right

how come the trains never stop around here

people smile back but it’s just a veneer

it’s only a disguise for a bittter sneer
