You Want That Picture - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

What did you do when you saw that I’d gone

did you stand very still and did tears come falling?

O you want that picture don’t you darling

of poor little me standing there bawling?

well it’s true that I cried

but then I went outside

and I stood very still in the night

and I looked at the sky

and knew someday I’d die

and then everything would be all right

it’s all right

and everything comes

down to this

that everything there ever was

or will be

is all there is

Where did you go once you’d wrote me that note

was a weight lifted off of your shoulders did you fly?

O you want that picture, don’t you darling

of heartless cold me

flying not falling?

well, it’s true that I soared

but then I went outdoors

and I stood very still in the night

and I looked at the sky

and knew someday I’d die

and then everything would be all right

it’s all right

and everything comes

down to this

that everything there ever was

or will be

is all there is
