Pictures of people
I've never known board them trains
Crooked church steeple
Stands alone on an empty lane

Old photographs
Negatives of nowhere towns
Old photographs
Stories told without making a sound
Old photographs

Sand scattered sea
A mother stays at the tide
A carnival scene
Half-dressed clown with a painted smile

Old photographs
Negatives of nowhere towns
Old photographs
Stories told without a single sound
Old photographs

Black and white TV
In the corner of the room
A man on the screen
The curtain's closed but the light comes through

Old photographs
Negatives of nowhere towns
Old photographs
Stories told without making a sound
Old photographs
