Don't Take My PIcture (feat. Kevin Hewick)

There is a face, that used to wear my name

Now it’s held in place, by amber and cellophane

Eyes so bright and bold and yet so easily deceived

With a certainty of which they will soon be relieved

So don’t

Don’t take my picture

Cause I’m not sure that I would ever live it down

No don’t

Don’t take my picture

Remember me the way I was when you first found me.

This is the place, where I will stake my claim

Carefully lit and bordered with a frame

A kiss that lingered, just this side of need

A thought that fought to keep up with the shutter speed.

So don’t

Don’t take my picture

Cause I’m not sure that I would ever live it down

No don’t

Don’t take my picture

Remember me the way I was when you first found me

Dim the lights and dip the strips in turpentine

Avert your eyes, I promise there is nothing left round here

For you to find

This is the grace that I have tried to tame

The prudence I transformed into a waiting game

Lies so crass and cold and yet so easily believed

A portrait of the blow about to be received

So don’t

Don’t take my picture

Cause I don’t think that I’d ever live it down

No, don’t

Don’t take my picture

Remember the way I was

When you first found me

So don’t

Don’t take my picture

Cause I don’t think that I’d ever live it down

No, don’t

Don’t take my picture

Remember the way I was

When you first found me
