lyrics

I took a picture of you in your bedroom
You played me a song in the halflight of morning
Woodsmoke still warm in the air

Last frame, aperture capture the love we had then
Burning your hands in a still motion picture
I still remember you there

What am I to do
What am I to do
Without you?

Now I’ve been alone in the darkroom closet again
Crying your name till I drown out the sound
Of the hum of an infrared glare

Your hands glow, beautiful radiant warfare
In the blacklight of the buckets of chemicals
Reaching for something not there

What am I to do
What am I to do
Without you?

Maybe someday I’ll forget how the woodsmoke smelled
Try to forget you one day but I don’t know how
I don’t know how
I don’t know how
