Photos In Babylon

from Sketches In The Key Of Life by Rob Tunbridge

/

lyrics

Maybe it’s the feelings, of an insecure boy
Watching the shadows, fall from the walls
A vision of fate, is after the skin on his back
But a room filled with pillows, its all that he feels

History is piled face down, in a blank black file
Ending like a farce or West End show
Only draw breath, when the interval finally arrives
And the wind at night, takes him back to where he belongs

CHORUS
The photos in Babylon are white on white
He sees the images burn in the light
The photos in Babylon are black on black
He feels shadows dance in the night

How could he be wrong, when he seems so right?
Reflection in the mirror, is not who he sees
Magicians cast spells, that can never be proved
And at night, their fantasies haunt his dreams

He try’s to succeed, where others have failed
Walks through the door, that’s always been closed
Thinks of the future, tied up in the past
And the photos in Babylon burn a hole in his heart

CHORUS
