ANCIENT PHOTOGRAPHS (ANCIENT MELODIES)

High way 64
A thousand miles above the sea level,
Tumblin' on my own
I am just a small boy
Watching as the sun comes out at night
Scared but standing solid
Hesitant but lusting for a ride up to the moon
I try to step inside now,
But mother's voice is crawling through my skin
Dissuading me from them

ANCIENT PHOTOGRAPHS / ANCIENT MELODIES
REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME
COULD IT BE THAT I MISSED MY ONLY RIDE
I'VE NEVER FELT SUCH KINSHIP IN MY LIFE


Here i am much older
Still cradling the secret revelation they left behind
Sophisticated small toy
A singing 3-d picture that keeps changing,
Keeps re-arranging
And though it's made my fortune
Drawing music landscapes for a living ain't much fun
But i guess it's worth the pleasure it brings to others when it hits them square
They maybe once were there



ANCIENT PHOTOGRAPHS / ANCIENT MELODIES
REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME
COULD IT BE THAT I MISSED MY ONLY RIDE
I'VE NEVER FELT SUCH KINSHIP IN MY LIFE


Someday if I'm bold
The secrets will be revealed
And I'll film the story for everyone
And if they don't believe it when they see it
They can come out here and find out for themselves


High way 64
A thousand miles above the sea level, tumblin'
on my own (again)
The circle crops are plenty
And very much the same I've known and loved
Standing right above...


ANCIENT PHOTOGRAPHS / ANCIENT MELODIES
REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME
COULD IT BE THAT I MISSED MY ONLY RIDE
I'VE NEVER FELT SUCH KINSHIP IN MY LIFE
I'VE NEVER FELT SUCH KINSHIP IN MY LIFE
NO, I'VE NEVER FELT SUCH KINSHIP IN MY LIFE!
