Walking in a Photograph (Acoustic) Lyrics

I went walking in a photograph

Side by side with a group of my best regrets

And I wandered home

Later all alone

In a come stained dirty dress

And at the side of the canal

I sat and watched all the young people hanging out

Yeah there was a time

When that could have been mine

But I guess I just missed my chance

Now I listen hard

Try to hear what real life is

But I can't make it out

Over the murmur and shout

Of the street scene playing out in front of me

All my ravens have come home

To roost in the boughs

Yeah they are sitting there squalling in the bare crowns

I went walking in a photograph

Down the fields with the Ghost of Ambitions Past

And he had his fun

Showed me what I could have won

If I got my head out of my ass

And on a lonely road

In the kind of cold that cuts into the bone

I can barely recall

What you look like at all

See you are playing all coy

As I trudge through the mud in my moth eaten coat

All my ravens have come home

To roost in the boughs

And they are sitting there laughing at what I'm reduced to now

And I cursed every word I shat out of my mouth

Staining rue to the hue of my photographs now

Oh I didn't know it all

No I didn't know at all

Oh I didn't know it all

No I didn't know at all

Oh I didn't know it all

No I didn't know at all

Oh I didn't know it all

No I didn't know at all

Know!
