Men at Work – Still Life

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
