Photograph - Something For Kate

Take a photograph

And settle down

Two and two, not as hard as it looks

Better not to burn those books

You’re not travelling on a beam of light

And you’re not sitting around under house arrest

Until you change your mind

Not a blink

Not a breath

Not a sign (x4)

Take a photograph

To remind you

Of the things you know you will one day forget

Take a side effect

As a measure of your progress

Take what you give

And give what you take

And as you walk with your breath two feet in front of you in the cold

Take a photograph, to have and to hold (x2)
