He's walking
where I'm afraid
I don't know
I see the firemen
jumping from
the windows
There's panic and
I hear somebody
scream
He picks up
useless paper
And puts it
in my pocket
I'm trying very
hard to
keep my
fingers clean
I can't remember
Tell me what's
his name
And all I wanted
was a word
or photograph to
keep at home
And all I wanted
was a word or
photograph to keep
The sun is laughing
It's another
broken morning
I see a shadow
and call out to try
and warn him
He didn't
seem to hear
Just turned away
The quiet fellow
follows and points
his fingers
straight at you
He had to sacrifice
his pride
Yes, throw it
all away
And all I wanted
was a word or
photograph to
keep at home
And all I wanted
was a word or
photograph to keep
His days
are numbered
He walks round
and round
in circles
There is no place
he can ever
call his own
He seems to jump
at the sound
of the phone
Staring out
the window
There's nothing he
can now do
All he wanted was
to remain sane
He can't remember
his own name
And all I wanted
was a word or
photograph to
keep at home
And all I wanted
was a word or
photograph to keep
And all I wanted
was a word
or photograph to
keep at home
And all I wanted
was a word or
photograph to keep
And all I wanted
was a word or
photograph to
keep at home
