Lyrics By Suzanne Vega

Music By Mitchell Froom And Suzanne Vega



The Sign Said "Headshots"

And That Was All,

A Picture Of A Boy

And A Number You Could Call,

Two Eyes In The Shade

A Mouth So Sad And Small,

It's Strange The Way A Shadow

Can Fall Across The Wall,

And Make The Difference

In What You See

Ah...



He's Just A Poster, But

He's Everywhere,

A Face Under A Street Lamp

Ripped And Hanging In The Air,

Turn The Corner

And He's Still There,

Watching All The People

Who Are Passing Unaware,

Is There A Judgement

In What He Sees?

Ah...



On A Day

As Cold

And Gray

As Today...



The Sign Says "Headshots"

It's All I See,

A Boy Becomes A Picture

Of Guilt And Sympathy,

And So I Think Of You

In Memory

Of The Days We Were Together,

And I Knew That You Loved Me

That Was The Difference

In What We See,

But That's History...

Ah...
