Picture book face (song lyrics, memories, song, Hang)

I want to see a face/
that I know and love/
I want to see a face/
That isn't in my Picture book/

When I know I'm dreaming/
and it isn't real/
no words can describe/
the pain that I feel/

Memories only last/
when what has gone has just passed/
how I wish they'd stay there/
in a place where I could care/

I want to see a face/
that I know and love/
I want to see a face/
that isn't in my picture book/

Memories are in places/
fields, pools and rooms/
My memories are drifting/
they will be gone quite soon/
So quiet are these thoughts/
when kept up inside/
then they escape so loudly/
through my mouth and through my eyes/

I want to see a face/
that I know and love/
I want to see a face/
that isn't in my picture book/

They say everything that's bad/
has to make some good/
but when something is this bad/
nothing will change and it never could/

I want to see a face/
that I know and love/
I want to see a face/
that isn't in my picture book...

I said I want to see a face/
see a face again/
I want to see THE face/
this wound won't heal til then/

This might be the best lyrics of yours I've read, hobo. I really don't care very much for your stuff but after seeing all the mediocre poetry around here that tries to pass as song lyrics this is kinda refreshing. I like the theme which I think is past loves are gone so you need a new one. Anyway, I can definitely see this set to music.

You never liked my previous work? Gah. Oh well, I guess you can't win them all. Glad you like this though. It's probably the most personal song I've done on here, so this is the only chance you get to connect with hobo...
