Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thought I saw you dancing on the tables late last night High romancing with some college kid Thought I saw you waltzing in the blue-grey bistro gloom Thought I saw you dancing Did you see me, too? [Chorus] I'm the one in the photograph You painted yesterday A high relief reflection of your promises and pain See me disappearing like a shadow at high noon I will follow when you want me to [Verse 2] Thought I saw you writing like an outlaw on the dunes Looking lost in the afternoon Cool pretender with your poetry and blues I remember What it cost just being you [Verse 3] Now the Tarot cards are numbered And the deck is made of glass The dealer's made a bargain with his soul I thought I saw you trembling as you threw it all away I thought I saw you dancing But the night had turned to day [Chorus] I'm the one in the photograph You painted yesterday A cool reflection of your promises and pain Believe in me before you throw it all away Believe in me, I know the way
