I Saw My Father
Saw my father living in a picture squinting in the Michigan sun
Caught forever in his blouse and knickers, wasn't he the lucky one?
While fear is growing stronger, the sun is almost gone
So hold me in your naked eye and shoot me on the run
Won't you please, please, take another picture?
Please, please, freeze my features
Please, please, take another
I don't wanna fade away
I saw a picture hidden in the bedroom underneath father's tie
A beautiful woman caught naked forever, black strip over her eyes
I still remember that picture, the image was sharp and clear
And I'll never erase that eyeless face still smiling all these years
Oh won't you please, please, take another picture?
Please, please, freeze my features
Please, please, take another
I don't wanna fade away
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Please, please, take another picture
Please, please, freeze my features
Please, please, take another
I don't wanna fade away
Fade away, fade away, fade away
