PICTURE ON THE WALL
(John Mayall)

I was looking through my pictures of days that's been and gone
well I was looking through my pictures of days that's been and gone
when I saw a man and woman you and me when we were one

we were night and day together flew to Spain across the sea
we were night and day together flew to Spain across the sea
well I think of summer weather see a picture 'a you and me

at day the sun's a ball of fire couldn't even hold your hand
at day the sun's a ball of fire couldn't even hold your hand
but at night I'd hold your body to keep me warm in the cold cold sand

it's a sad old recollection since we saw that picture fade
well it's a sad old recollection since we saw that picture fade
I upset you left you cry, left you and I for now to blame

every time I think of summer 'see a picture on the wall
every time I think of summer s'ee a picture on the wall
it will always be a reminder that you were mine all and alone
and it'll always be a reminder that you were mine all along
