Empty Picture Frame

i just found the frame

where i took your picture away

and in my wallet

like a saint from some other place

that picture repays

my eyes as they glaze

a thousand lashes

from a love long gone away

i'll know that you're gone for good

when the dawn kicks me awake

i'll dress and move on put on what i can take

so take and get on you sweet thing

there's a phone call aimed at me tonight

here it comes, out go my lights

leaves me nowhere far out of sight

now i've got the frame

and some baggage that i claimed

i came home to

a world sadly changed

so i got stoned

until i thought this house was a home

but when i came down

i found myself alone

i'll know that you're gone for good

when the dawn kicks me alive

i know we'll go on somehow we'll both survive

so take and get on you sweet thing

tonight you'll find me

alone and getting high

up we float, down i fly

leave me nowhere, far out of sight

leaves me nowhere, far out of sight
