The Picture of Laura — текст песни (Perry and The Poor Boys)

I know I`m not the man of God I used to be
I`ve forgotten what it`s like to live faithfully
But so many times, but so many times
I`ve longed for love I cannot find,
I cannot find

I`ve not really learned to be the patient one
So reminded of all the years
When I`ve had one
Waiting for that moment
When I know for sure
I could wait forever having never endured
I could wait forever and never be cured

I`ve got this photograph
Of a girl hanging on my board
The picture of Laura sitting on the beach
Who wouldn`t want to be like her
Who wouldn`t want to be with her
Only Laura, the picture of Laura
I`m not falling for you
Each time I fall I hurt and cry I see your face
There`s nothing I`ve not seen before
Here in this place
My eyes deceive my heart
I crawl away from you
My head comes back to me
I run straight for the Truth
The picture of Laura

I`m being haunted by memories
I`ve never known
Wishes no one granted
Of the picture I was shown
Asking my father for something I can`t find
That picture of Laura would one day be mine

She is a beauty the boys watch
When she goes by
I guess it could have been true love
If we had tried
But underneath her skin
There was no love for God at all
I could not watch her try to catch herself
When she would fall
The picture of Laura...
