Michelle Gurevich - Pictures on the Wall

From the new album - It Was the Moment now out everywhere https://linktr.ee/michellegurevich *** As a child there were pictures on the wall They seemed like ancient history From the life my parents left behind So far from our reality Now I’ve lost my dearest and my best And I’m living far away These may seem like just any photographs But they mean the world to me They’re not just pictures on the wall They’re the life I’ve always known From the place that was my home Really not so long ago They’re not just pictures on the wall They’re the deepest part of me They’re not just pictures on the wall They’re the realest world of all I go about life the best that I can Most days I feel ok But sometimes I look at these photographs And I get swept away Can’t believe there’s no trace of them left Only my witnesses eyes How I wish I could dive right back in Have them all here by my side They’re not just pictures on the wall They’re the life I’ve always known From the place that was my home Doesn’t exist anymore They’re not just pictures after all They’re the deepest part of me They’re not just pictures on the wall They’re the realest world of all Now my children point and asks me “Who is that?” For them it’s ancient history But there are no words that can convey The depth of what they mean to me They’re not just pictures on the wall They’re the life I’ve always known From the place that was my home Doesn’t exist anymore They’re not just pictures after all They’re the deepest part of me They’re not just pictures on the wall They’re the realest world of all They’re not just pictures on the wall They’re the realest world of all ***
