Picture Frame Lyrics & Tabs by Coyote Grace
Picture Frame
guitar chords lyrics
I was there in the room
The day my baby died
And oh, how she cried
Wrapped up in her cloak of darkness
She saw a brighter light on the other side
She cried, “Oh Mama, I can’t live this lie”
Then, she was gone with a smile
Well, I buried her in a picture frame
The dust grows thick now upon her name
But I love her still the same
I was there in the room
The day my baby was born
And oh, how he cried
He birthed himself out of the darkness
A newborn manchild fell into my world
And oh, how he cried
He birthed himself out of the darkness
A newborn manchild fell into my world
Chest filled with pride to have him by my side
Though it killed my baby girl
My heart wears a veil of mourning
A painted smile on my face
A million memories of soft skin & angel songs
Even time cannot erase
I was there in the room
The day my baby said Goodbye
And oh how I cried
He traded in my pinks for a stranger’s blues
My skin ain’t home to him anymore
He cried, “Oh Mama, I can’t live this lie”
My heart just walked right out the door
Well, I buried her in a picture frame
The dust grows thick now upon her name
But I love her still the same
And there ain’t no one to blame
But I’ll never be the same
