These Photographs

You're Sylvia Plath as you drip from the bath

I hand you a robe and so it goes

The moment'd pass



You're Simone De Beauvoir as you get out the car

The way you read me

No one can see me

It's who you are



And these photographs keep me alive

Babe here's your song

Babe

It took too long to find in your eyes my best surprise



You're Nina Simone when you talk on the phone

You sing to me and I'm truly no longer alone



You're Mary Cassatt when people tell you you're not

You're like a child all the while

I need you a lot



And these photographs keep me alive

Babe here's your song

Babe

It took too long to find in your eyes my best surprise



And I wanna know what you know

And I wanna go where you go



These things remind me of

These things remind me of

These things remind me of you



Babe here's your song

Babe

It took too long to find in your eyes my best surprise
