Pictures
-words and music by Ryan Sheeler (2011)
VERSE 1
They’re so neatly arranged
sitting near the chairs
Nestled in the bedroom
Up and down the stairs
Friends and memories
Glossy 8 X10s
Graduations, weddings, and verses
Reminders of time well-spent
VERSE 2
In her bedroom it sat there
dust on it growin’ old
sitting on an old corner chair
a story waiting to be told
from frame split in two
just like her childhood was
in one she’s five; the other she’s thirteen
innocence defined and lost
VERSE 3
Then there was the one of her and I
She stuck in her cupboard door
The joy in that picture
Wasn’t in her heart any more….
She took it down in cold desire
Just before she left that night
She said she was just cleaning
But I knew something wasn’t right
VERSE 4
Those were memories he relived
When he looked her window
And stood there reliving something
that’s lost in the snow
that’s me living in the past
The safety in those frames
Feels better than a future without her
But it’s still the past all the same
Verse 5
He turned to walk away
when light caught his eye
A picture he’d never seen before
Now he wondered why
The artist must have been the Master
’cause He drew them face to face
The years and anger faded
And left was a picture of grace
