Taking Pictures
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.
When I take a picture of the city it disappears
It's only a photograph the city is gone
The places I go are never there
The places I go are never there
Nastalgia isn't what ut used to be
I can only picture the disappearing world when you touch me
He brought me the air of Paris in a bottle
The record caught the air of London nineteen sixty-five
The places I go are never there
The places I go are never there
Nastalgia isn't what it used to be
I can only picture the disappearing world when you touch me
