Black and White Image / Ray Smith
Walkin and a pickin I figure things out
I saw myself with you and without
It's a black and white image in the rain
I thought of our friend who lost his love it's like
God take your heart and give it a shove
It's a black and white image in the rain
-CH-
You never know how much time you've got
ya gotta live it right now and live alot yeah yeah
My own mother decided to die sittin right there she
looked us in the eye and she said it's my time to go
My dad moved on to give another try the war came in
and took his life
It's a black and white image in the rain
-CH-
Walkin and a pickin I figure things out
I saw myself with you and without
It's a black and white image in the rain
So grab hold your lover and hold him tight
go home crazy and make love tonight
color that image in your brain the black and white image in the rain
