Old Photographs Lyrics
Jim Capaldi
Lyrics
Yesterday I felt the wind blowing around my shoulder
Feel like I'm getting older
Still I can't forget your face
Separated by a million miles of ocean
My heart still feels emotion
Even in this lonely place
Old photographs and places I remember
Just like a dying ember
That's burned into my soul
Even though we walk the diamond studded highways
It's the country lanes and byways
That makes us long for home
Lately I just find my mind has turned to dreaming
Making plans and scheming
How I'm gonna get back home
But deep down inside I know its really hopeless
This road I'm on is endless
We climb our mountains all alone
Old photographs and places I remember
Just like a dying ember
That's burned into my soul
Even though we walk the diamond studded highways
It's the country lanes and byways
That makes us long for home
Old photographs and places I remember
Just like a dying ember
That's burned into my soul
Even though we walk the diamond studded highways
It's the country lanes and byways
That makes us long for home
