Lyrics

STILL LIFE
words and music by Brad Burg (contact info below)


he's staring at the window
as though he's above it all
she's lying on the bed
with her face to the wall

she just asked a question
she said ?Answer from your heart?--
he's got to draw a picture now
and he don't know where to start

oh, it takes a steady hand
and it takes a steady eye
to show the empty spaces
when the love has gone by

CHORUS
something like a still life ? no one makes a move
a still life -- not a whisper, not a sigh
just two people waiting
for the sound of their goodby
like a still life, still life, still life

VERSE 2
there's a picture that he gave her
hanging on the wall
but what is needed here and now
he can't give at all

the question that she asked him
still hanging in the air
he's looking for an answer
there?s no answer anywhere

there are wheels inside of wheels
when the feeling disappears
but nothing that the eye can see
caught inside a

CHORUS
caught inside a still life -- no one makes a move
a still life -- not a whisper, not a sigh
just two people waiting
for the sound of their goodby
like a still life, still life, still life
