lyrics

There’s a man in the photo from the 1970’s
I had a vision he’d come to visit me
He brushed past my father, fell off the ink
He came to visit with me
He came in my hour of need

The man from the photo peered around and took a seat
He drank from my coffee, I offered a bite to eat
He gazed towards the photo where he used to be
And laughed at the empty space
He laughed at the empty space

Ain’t it great, Ain’t it grand
To see your father smile as a young man
Always know where you go
Is wrapped up with where you been

The man from the photo pushed away his plate
He asked for water, I nodded ok
I knew while turning he’d gone away
But to the picture he did not return
No the man he was gone for good

Ain’t it true, Ain’t it right
To wake up early and stay out all night
Always know where you go
Is wrapped up with where you been
