Lyrics:
We stood beneath a sky of grey,
I heard that final whistle call.
Our future fading fast away,
As my tears began to fall.

Now my world is paper thin,
I can almost hear your laugh.
All I have to hold on to
Is a faded photograph.

You promised everything was fine,
And left a tunnel in my soul.
You squeezed my hand and let it go,
Then the train began to roll.

But I know a time will come
When my waiting's done at last,
And I’ll finally see the truth
Past a faded photograph.

But I know a time will come
When my waiting's done at last,
And I’ll finally see the truth
Past a faded photograph.

All I have to hold on to
Is this faded photograph.

// ABOUT THIS SONG //

"A Faded Photograph" was written in the style of the great country storytellers of the 1960s and 70s. It’s about how a single moment can leave a permanent mark, and how we hold onto the smallest things—like a faded photograph—to keep a memory alive long after someone is gone.
