lyrics

Hello Darling , How are you
My work is done, My day is through
I walked home by the Mission Bell
And dropped a coin into the well
And I passed by the courtyard green
And saw a new boy dancing free
He spun around and laughed aloud
And splashed dye on the watching crowd

We were once so young and clever
We were free, but now, no never
You're forever gone and so am I
And I recall the price we paid
To be so young and unafraid
Alone I'm left with thirty years gone by

And darling do you think it strange
For all these years I still remain
In hopes that you will reappear
And rid me of my senseless fears
While others on the sidewalk sway
Like wheat stocks on a windy day
Their smiles arranged like crescent moons
Upon their backs in perfect tune
And though they speak well of themselves
I do suspect there's something else
What hides behind their surface lies
A longing that I can't define

I prayed for you, acknowledge that
We ate the moon, we're on the map
We all deserver a hardy pat upon the back

And though I fantasize and pray
And speak to you most every day
You'll never know this kind of pain
You're Just a Picture in a Frame
