Lyrics My Favorite Picture of You - Guy Clark

My Favorite Picture of You

is one where you’re staring
straight into the lens
It’s just a Polaroid shot
smeone took on the spot
No beginning no end
Just a moment in time
you can’t have back
you never left but
your bags were packed
Just in case
My favorite pciture of you
is bent and it’s faded
and it’s pinned to my wall
You were so angry
It’s hard to beleive we were lovers at all
There’s a fire in your eyes
you got your heart on your sleeve
A curse on your lips
but all I can see is beautiful
Is the one where your wings are showing
Your arms are crossed your fists are clinched
Not gone but going
A stand up angel who won’t back down
Nobody’s fool and nobody’s clown
You were smarter than that
My favorite picture of you is one where it hasn’t rained yet
As I recall there came a winter squall
We got soaking wet
A thousand words in the blink of an eye
The camera loves you and so do I
Click my favorite picture of you
Is one where you’re staring straight into the lens
