I walked into the house and saw the picture on the wall
It was old and tattered and the corners were torn
I picked it up noticed the writing on the back
Said Happy birthday my love I am glad you are back
Next line said I love you love till I die
But she left twenty years ago so we know that is a lie
Chorus
Time steal away like a thief in the night
Time goes by in a blink of a eye
Time goes, goes rolling by
Way across town there is a old picture in a drawer
It is a picture of the man she left but she really adored
She left twenty years ago and still feels bad
She was just a young girl didn't know what she had
Just thought about the rosy things and nothing of the bad
She regrets her decisions now and misses the love she had
Chorus
He tried to get over her and get her out of his mind
And maybe that the reason why he is drinking every night
though he been with many nothing can compare
to the wild love they had and everything they shared
so he will miss her everyday can't get her off his mind
he is going to miss her until the day he dies
Chorus

The synth gives this a very full and fore longing sound and feel Tim. A good lyric/story, vocals and I love those chorus harmonies!
The very solid rhythm guitar strum glues it all together perfectly.

A lovely song, Tim. Got a Springsteen feel to it and a great emotive vocal performance. Those underlying string sounds create a perfect bed for the song and the lyrics are beautiful.

Great song idea. Loved the lyrics...wistful, lamenting, introspective. Solid backer for your well done vocals, especially impressive on the choruses. I was waiting for a bit of harp soloing :-)) Nice tune Tim...enjoyed the listen...a solid, well done song. "Time goes by in the blink of an eye"...so so very true man.

What a great song, it feels like it's from the late 60's, there's more than a bit of Bob Seger in this to my mind.
Very well done.

Brilliant Tim. Great storytelling, excellent composition and a stunning vocal performance. There's real power and emotion in those vox, they really tell the story so well. I too got a bit of a Springsteen vibe from the vox, which is a very good thing in my book.
This is a really good fest entry. Great use of the photo. Now the burning question.....is it you in the pic?

This is a great song Tim, and you deliver the vocal with such oomph.
The production is fabulous too.
I glad Ferryman asked the question. Feel free to tell us to mind our own, though. Or better still - make a story up ;) ;)

Seger... Springsteen... yep, getting both those things. 'Night Moves' especially springs to mind. And the comparison is that this is also beautiful, classic FM rock and storytelling. Right up my street. The songwriting, vocal and guitar are all superb. Love the emotion you put into the vocal delivery.
So jealous of that chorus, lol.
Magnificent!!!!!

Your melody and vocal both make the melancholy story hit right in the gut. You've done a fine job of putting a picture into words (and music.)

Damn it Man
I'm digging that simple strumming, under the heartfelt lyrics and your killer vocals... so expressive.
Outstanding delivery of the chorus
