Still Life

David Wilcox

We all have moments

Frozen for, no reason

What we say, what we do

Self-portraits

Don't be afraid

We can fall no further

Than beyond the edge of our perceptions



Before my eyes

I see you like an alibi

It's not like it used to be



Do you ever wonder

Why we remember and why we forget

As you watch yourself

In the fire of a cigarette

Or prevent the demolition of a

Large public building



Before my eyes

I see you like an alibi

It's not like it used to be



Every picture in a special frame

They remain the same

Still life

Dawn breaking through a silver sky

You and I

Still life



Before my eyes

I see you like, an alibi

It's not like it used to be



You see what's right and what's wrong

A kiss to drown in

Sweet child of paradise

Each eye cuts it's own diamond



Every picture in a special frame

They remain the same

Still life

Dawn breaking 'cross a silver sky

You and I still life



Every picture in a special frame

They remain the same

Still life

Dawn breaking 'cross a silver sky

You and I still life
