Peter Ansley - To Hang Upon My Wall lyrics

Sometimes in the morning, when I'm feeling kind of low, I look into the mirror, man, the lines they really show. When I was 17 was this the dream that I had planned? Living all alone with the face of my old man. Chorus: Is this the picture that I wanted to hang upon my wall? A portrait of my life to share with one and all? I thought I had plan but somewhere I got lost. Is this the picture that I wanted to hang upon my wall? Sometimes in the evenings, when I go out on the town, they say not to look needy as I slowly look around. I buy the girls some drinks, "yeah I was married once, you know. She could have left when I was young but now's the time she chose. (Chorus) Maybe if I felt different, if I felt I had slowed down, I'd realize that 21 just won't come back around. But my heart still loves and longs and my hands still write love songs. After all these years I don't think less of me. And sometimes in the late night when the bars are closing down. There's a lump inside my throat and the beer won't wash it down. The girls are half my age but I'm hoping some will see behind this wrinkled face is still a boy with all his needs. (Chorus) Is this the picture to hang upon my wall? The story of my life to tell to one and all? I thought I'd have it made by now but somewhere I got tossed. it's not the picture that I wanted to hang upon my wall.
