Ten Years

about

Vikki Clayton picked this song out of a tape of new songs and recorded it in 1997 on her Movers And Shakers album, and I have played the song with her on many a stage including Cropredy twice. After all this time I fancied recording my own version.

lyrics

Ten Years
Photographs are dangerous
They send you back down avenues,
You thought were one way streets
For so many miles.
And the long forgotten details
Like paintings and ornaments
They’re reaching out to haunt you
Like holiday smiles chorus
Ten years is it really ten years?
How did your voice sound and how did you look?
Ten years is it really ten years?
All I have is snapshots in my head and some faces in a book

Memories don’t satisfy
You reach out to touch them and the bubble will break
And leave you hanging there
So tread upon them lightly
No amount of wallowing can bring you back faster
Than a fragrance in the air

chorus

Rose tinted eyes only see sunny skies
But I’ll live with the lies for a while longer
I remember the occasions
Birthdays and New Years and the first day that we met
Down by the railroad track
But I’d change them in a second
For the taste and the feel of just an ordinary day
Please take me back
