Undeveloped Film - Frank Turner (法兰克·透纳)[00:00:00]
Sorting through my things the other day[00:00:16]
I found an old film camera that I thought I'd thrown away[00:00:20]
But there it was covered in dust[00:00:25]
I checked it and the film inside still had a few pictures left[00:00:29]
So I just snapped it off and then[00:00:33]
I found a place on the high street that could still develop them[00:00:37]
I dropped them off and clean forgot [00:00:41]
It wasn't until this morning that I picked the pictures up[00:00:45]
And there before my eyes in vivid colour[00:00:50]
Pictures of her stood smiling bold on the edge of a cliff by the sea[00:00:58]
On the south coast somewhere [00:01:10]
Wind in her hair wrapped against the cold[00:01:14]
There were many other pictures in the set [00:01:31]
Most of them were taken in the first months after we met[00:01:35]
When we were lovers like happy drunks[00:01:40]
Stumbling for each other with each step each breath in our lungs[00:01:43]
Pictures of nights from soho bars[00:01:48]
A weekend in the country when she bought my sister's car [00:01:51]
Her naked serene on a hotel bed[00:01:56]
Smiling at the camera her beauty like a word unsaid[00:02:00]
And there before my eyes on the glossy paper[00:02:05]
Quiet whispers of something I had lost or put aside for the longest time[00:02:12]
The hope that I might find some kind of peace[00:02:29]
Oh oh oh where did it go go go[00:02:41]
I just don't know exactly where I kept it[00:02:45]
There right there under the stairs oh please[00:02:49]
Darling I swear swear swear that's where I left it[00:02:53]
Secret little things that you keep locked away[00:02:58]
In a small wooden box that you barely even mention to yourself[00:03:01]
It's not exactly hope nothing quite as simple as youth[00:03:07]
Perhaps it's just a way of looking past the truth[00:03:11]
We're all fading away[00:03:16]
The truth I can see in the very last frame of that long lost roll of film[00:03:18]
A picture of me a young man holding a camera up to a mirror[00:03:24]
And there before my eyes in that old reflection a declaration bold[00:03:32]
We won't stay gold all that's left of her and rest[00:03:45]
Is a small locked box of undeveloped films and photographs[00:03:51]
