A Trick Of The Light Lyrics - The Triffids

I have a letter. familiar paper 

I keep a figurine in a locket 

It's dedicated, engraved initials 

Yellow photograph in a pocketbook 

Well the rim of her mouth was golden 

Her eyes were just desert sands 

But that's not her! 

That's just the light 

It's only an image of her 

It's just a trick of the light

She sent me letters, gave me directions 

Name of the street where I should turn 

And then she stood out front, wrapped in her bathtowel 

Yelling, "Once you leave boy, you can't return!" 

I was beating on her Iike an anvil 

Beating her out of original shape 

With that same old panic caught on her face 

I copied the image of the ancient embrace 

Photos 

You remind me very much 

Of someone that I used to know 

We used to take turns crying all night 

Oh, but that was so long ago now
