loudon wainwright iii – the picture كلمات اغاني
there are pictures on the piano, pictures of the family,
mostly my kids but there’s an old
picture of you and me.
you were five and i was six in 1952;
that was forty years ago, how could it be true?
we were sitting outside drawing
at a table meant for cards,
and it must have been in autumn,
falling leaves in the front yard,
with a shoebox full of crayons,
full of colors oh so bright,
in a picture in a plastic frame,
a snapshot black and white.
you were looking at my paper, watching what i drew;
it was natural: i was older,
thirteen months more than you.
a brother and a sister, a little boy and girl,
and whoever took that picture
captured our own world.
a brother needs a sister to watch what he can do,
to protect and to torture, to boss around, it’s true;
but a brother will defend her
for a sister’s love is pure,
because she thinks he’s wonderful
when he is not so sure.
in the picture there’s a fender of our old chevrolet
or pontiac, our dad would know, surely he could say;
but dad is dead and we grow old;
it’s true that time flies by;
and in forty years the world has changed
as well as you and i.
