One of the best things about doing this blog is using it as a catalyst to get together with friends and see what happens. Aaron Ellingsen, Jeanne Tolmie and I are frequent collaborators and it was fun and interesting to get together and have a run at this song.
Picture of Me
Do you remember that picture of me in a wheat field with that lean brown dog
his hound dog dink was lipstick pink and a red-tail hawk flew over and gave us a wink
And the Alberta sky was as blue as the Aegean Sea
do you remember
remember that picture of me
And the Alberta sky was as blue as the Aegean Sea
will you remember
will you remember me
And a great long soft white cloud like a feather
stretched across the sky
And it was two hours and twenty-five minutes
before I said good-bye
Do you remember
do you remember that picture of me
will you remember
will you remember me
Do you remember
do you remember that picture of me
will you remember
will you remember me
Do you remember that picture of me in the bright white light with a galloping horse
my eyes were two black holes
portals to an underworld hotel
where the menacing ceilings hover over cold cold beds
like conquering aliens from the darkness over head
and dirty curtains guard the windows where we sleep
will you remember
will you remember me
And a thick soft swollen grey cloud like the belly of a whale
filled the sky
And it was twenty-two years twenty two days
two hours and twenty-five minutes
after I said good-bye
Do you remember
do you remember that picture of me
will you remember
will you remember me
Do you remember
do you remember that picture of me
will you remember
will you remember me
