lyrics

that photograph:
pale brown hands so neatly clasped
perched upon a sandpit in a tyre

the time ahead was such a comfort to you as a younger man,
so why not now when you're in the middle of that precious span?

more time is all that you need
more life goes off while you plead
you aimed so high
so why still on your knees?

some scraps remain:
long hair, suit and biker chain
defiantly, you stared into the lens

the life ahead was such a very special place when you were young
so why, just now, does it look a little pasty and undone?

if scraps remain
keep them one arm's length away
defiantly, staring out the end
