Deacon Blue


You take a man who's on his last life
A simple soul nobody knows him
What does it matter if he lives or dies

Or a woman who's lost everything
Her only son, hoped for, not living
Is there anybody listening?

This is the picture that should be starring love
Starring love, starring love
I get the story when it's starring love
Starring love, starring love

Did you see them on the way down
His eyes all gone her memory fading
Is there any kind of way back?

Do you know him with his face down
Do you seem him when he's coming and going?
Do you see him when he's out there?

This is the picture that should be starring love
Starring love, starring love
I get the story when it's starring love
Starring love, starring love

It breaks you up thinking about it
All the beatings and the taunts and noise and all the...
All the love going and given
It's all love

This is the picture that should be starring love
Starring love, starring love
I get the story when it's starring love
Starring love, starring love

This is the picture that should be starring love
Starring love, starring love
I get the story when it's starring love
Starring love, starring love

It's not the coming and the going
Of the thing that keeps you young most
Everyone knows it's going to cost
I'm going to call you up
And tell you how I'm feeling
Since we lost you you'll never know
