They Sent Me a Picture Songtext

They sent me a picture
Of my little girl the other day
She was so beautiful,
She′d grown so tall
She was laughing
With her hair brushed from her eyes
She looked right at the camera
But she didn't see me
Her smile went straight through me
But she didn′t see me

I'm no good to you, oh honey
I'm no good to me, you know that
I′m no good to anyone at all
I′ll never be around, mmm


The day that she was born
The heat felt heavy and my body low
The air was steeped with
Sweet honeysuckle
I held on to the porch
Railing in the sun
Counting contractions
Waiting for my little one
Way back when I thought
That she would be my little one

I'm no good to you, oh honey
I′m no good to me, you know that
I'm no good to anyone at all
I′ll never be around, mmm

They say if you feel sad and low
You get to acting bad, I know
That if it's true then
I have plumbed the depths
I can watch myself
From far away outside
It wasn′t me that did it,
It was someone else
I'd never stoop so very low
It must be someone else

I'm no good to you, oh honey
I′m no good to me, you know that
I′m no good to anyone at all
I'll never be around, oooh


And so I tuck her photo back
Behind the books up on the shelf
Her smile haunts me
As I leave the room
I move into the kitchen
Looking for a place to hide
The light above the sink
Is glaring at me in the night
I turn my face away
And I sink slowly in the night

Oooh
I′m no good to you
I'm no good to me
I′m no good to anyone at all
I'll never be around
