benmont tench - today i took your picture down lyrics
today i took your picture down
and carried it away
its meaning long forgotten now
forgotten let it stay
its welcome worn to wariness
its thousand words all said
a keepsake keeps a love alive
but shrines are for the dead
today i turned my back upon
the celebrated face
that stole a piece of every soul
that wandered through this place
that seemed so like a living thing
all conversation died
or turned to face what must have been
the artist’s joy and pride
today i took your picture down
the coolly painted lips that spoke without a sound
the eyes that followed me around
darin me to try and stare them down
today i took your picture down
and every line intact
but something soft had gone from it
that never can come back
some warm familiarity
grown distant now and cold
today i took your picture down
one of us had to go
