C#m B
I found this photograph,
Aunderneath the broken picture glass.
Tender face of black and white,
C#m ABeautiful, a haunting sight.
Looked into an angel's smile,
Acaptivated all the while.
C#m AFrom the hair and clothes she wore,
I'd place her in between the wars.
E B
Was she willing when she sat
and posed the pretty photograph?
E BSave her flowering and fair,
A Dthe days to come, the days to share.
A big smile for the camera,
A Dhow did she know?
E B D Dsus2the moment could be lost forever
forever more
C#m B
I found this photograph,
stashed between the old joist walls,
C#m Ain a place where time is lost,
C#m Alost behind, where all things fall.
C#m B
Broken books and calendars,
letters script in careful hand,
C#m Amusic too, a standard tune by
C#m Asome forgotten big brass band.
E B
From the threshhold what's to see
Aof our brave new century?
The television's just a dream,
Athe radio, the silver screen.
E B D Dsus2A big smile for the camera,
how did she know?
E B D Dsus2the moment could be lost forever
A C#mforever more

E B
Was her childhood filled with rhymes,
stolen hooks, impassioned crimes?
E BWas she innocent or blind
A Dto the cruelty of her time?
Was she fearful in her day,
A Dwas she hopeful, did she pray?
E BWere there skeletons inside,
family secrets, sworn to hide?
E BDid she feel the heat that stirs,
A Dthe fall from grace of wayward girls?
Was she tempted to pretend,
A Dthe love and laughter, 'til the end?
