My Favorite Picture Of You

Guy Clark

My favorite picture of you
Is the one where you're staring
Straight into the lensIt's just a polaroid shot
Someone took on the spot
No beginning no endIt's just a moment in time
You can't have back
You never left but your bags were packed
Just in caseMy favorite picture of you
Is bent and faded
And it's pinned to my wallOh and you were so angry
It's hard to believe
We were lovers at allThere's a fire in your eyes
You've got your heart on your sleeve
A curse on your lips but all I can see
Is beautifulMy favorite picture of you
Is the one where
Your wings are showingOh and your arms are crossed
Your fists are clenched
Not gone but goingJust a stand up angel
Who won't back down
Nobody's fool, nobody's clown
You were smarter than thatMy favorite picture of you
Is the one where
It hasn't rained yetOh and as I recall
Came a winter squall
And we got soaking wetIt's a thousand words
In the blink of an eye
The camera loves you and so do I
ClickMy favorite picture of you
Is the one where you're staring
Straight into the lens
