Still Life

Still Life - Men At Work

There's a picture in the hall I know

And it's from a time when feelings showed

Though I hold it close before my eyes

My heart refuses to see

Loving you could have been oh so easy

But there is something you don't understand

Through the times when two were one completely

There was another in this well laid plan

This corridor seems to stretch for years ahead

But patient hearts cannot match times steady tread

Is this the threshold of a fantasy

Is there still life at all

Loving you could have been oh so easy

But there is something you don't understand

Through the times when two were one completely

There was another in this well laid plan

Best laid plan of ours

Watering the garden some comfort

For the twilight years

Still life never lingers

It marches past our veil of tears

A moment's all we've got

To have and to hold

Don't slip don't blink

Don't turn your head

With a photographic memory

I could live in a time that used to be

Is this the threshold of a fantasy

Is there still life at all

Loving you could have been oh so easy

But there is something you don't understand

Through the times when I was won completely

There was another in this well laid plan

Loving you could have been oh so easy

But there is something you don't understand

There was a time when I was won completely

Our emotions they got out of hand
