Are you paying for the sins of your father?

Why do you bother?

If they are his.

So I never did

and you'll just be a photograph

Do you sense that I am feeling uneasy,

I'm a storm out of season

Just passing through

You pinned your hope upon logic and reason,

No god to believe in
E
life was never easy for you

but I know its you inside

I’ll sit here all night

I can't find you now, so I mill around

Hoping I can feel that thread

I will pull it through, get a smile from you
E F#m
For a moment you are here again
A
But it’s not enough
D Dm
And then you've forgotten us
Bm A D
A life in moments just fragments of our memories We loved each other famously
[Chorus]

You’re slipping away
Bm E
right in front of me

I hate it, how you're so far away love

Cos one day I will reach for you

and you'll just be a photograph
