The Picture
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can't fail this time
I'll be where you are
Be afraid for me
Be too good for me
You look back at the picture
And realise things then were different
It's not who you know
It's what you know then
Rest your weary head
Close your heavy eyes
This last drink so near
Your smile shines on me
You look back at the picture
And realise things then were different
It's not who you know
It's what you know then
Look at the picture
And realise things now are different
It's not who you know
It's what you know then
Know then
Know then
Know then
Know then
Know then
Know then
Know then
