about

Her big picture was different than my big picture, which was all right.

lyrics

The big picture hangs on your wall,
an image of a fairytale ball.
Dancers float across a polished floor.
Wine flows into your glass,
white horses galloping past.
Eyes are fixed upon the golden door.

Julie, don’t you know
what makes the garden grow?
Julie, can’t you see
that love’s a mystery?

I labor out in the street.
I beg the people I meet,
“Can you see the colors of my dreams?”
I slide from day to day.
No goals to get in my way.
My destination’s closer than it seems.

Julie, can’t you hear
the passing of the years?
Julie, can’t you feel
your heart begin to heal?

When your world was coming undone,
an inclination to run
to another town, another time.
Now time is standing still,
sunshine erased the chill.
The future’s like a ladder you must climb.

Julie, don’t you know
what makes the garden grow?
Julie, can’t you see
that you’re already free?

Jeff now lives in San Francisco where he dreams of pop stardom and putting his daughter through college. Lots to think about. ... more
