about
I saw an old woman buy a framed photo at a car boot sale in Whiteabbey. I wondered what was in the picture. What memories, secrets, love or sentiments did it hold? Well the answer is in the last verse. If I ever write a short story on it, the conclusion may be even more.......Don't read thy lyrics first, enjoy the sung story......
Oh she bought a faded picture, down at the car boot sale,
She put it in her hatchback, went homeward on the trail
She hung that faded picture, up there on the wall,
And every time she passed it, she looked at it in the hall.
Chorus
The frame it was silver, but the picture it was gold,
Oh why that faded picture, Oh why that faded fold?
For the picture told a story, never written in a book
Twas worth a thousand words, twas worth a second look.
Oh she dusted the faded picture, and kept it in the hall,
It showed to her a memory, sometimes a tear did fall,
She loved that faded picture; she loved its well worn look,
To her it was a treasure; there was her man with looks.
C
For she had went out that day, for something just to do,
She’d lived a single life, he died in World War two,
And there on a table, a girl was clearing out,
He granddad’s old army pictures, the remains of his house.
C
Oh what was in the picture, the youth who’d went to war
In Montgomery’s army and he had went afar,
For four long years he’d been away, the man did not return
Yet there with Marshall Alexander on the citadels of Rome.
