The Photographer Lyrics

On the way back home

From the Chinese restaurant

We stopped in to a little corner bar

A few drinks later

I start to slur and there you are

Leaning up against the wall

Those neon signs and the passing cars

You said, 'I don't feel like pictures'

I said in a blur, in a blur

"But the way the light falls, dear

Be still the Moon and the stars

Let me save this moment

To remember the way you were"

Just then

The sky had fallen

Blazing like a thousand suns

Fire, crashes, sirens, smoke

And we had to run

After about half a mile

You slowed down to a stop

I turned around

To savor the view

You asked, 'what is it now?!'

I said, 'The way the light falls, dear

You move me, body and soul

After this is over,

We'll have to take another stroll'

What's that

Oh no

And the aliens are here

And their tractor beam draws near

Don't panic so soon

It's a balloon

But the way the light falls, dear

Be still the Sun and the Moon

Let me save this moment

Before there's a typhoon

You got back up and caught your breath

You made your point with out a single word

I stepped back

Took out my camera

Clicked a few shots

Oh well
