My Favorite Picture of You - Guy Clark

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
