Lyrics

We marked it with your pocket knife
A signpost for an unpaved life
Indiscreet meetings in the market square
The promenade, I'll take you there

I don't want to be outdone
A light bulb shining in the sun
The sight unseen

Your postcard promise as they latch the door
Keeps the flagship sailing through your endless war
The magic bullet fired that you can't rescind
A folding fan against the wind

May not move the needle much
My offering to your golden touch
Our love is like water
But temptation's only foam
Is my photographic memory
Just a memory of a photograph?
Relentlessly brief

A postcard from my unpaved life
Mentions you're a mother and a stranger's wife
Makes it easy to define
What is yours but isn't mine

Meet me in the market square
The promenade, I'll take you there
Temptation is like water
But our love lives in my photographic memory
Or the memory of a photograph
Endlessly brief
