A Picture Of You
Robert Gordon Lyrics
In the night there are sights to be seen
Stars like jewels on the crown of a queen
But the only sight I wanna view
Is that wonderful picture of you
On the streetcar or in the cafe
All of the evening and most of the day
My mind is in a maze, what can I do?
I'll still see that picture of you
It was last summer, I fell in love
I saw you there on the crest of a hill
And I took a little picture of you
Then you were gone like a dream in the night
With you went my heart, my love and my light
I didn't know your name, what could I do?
I only had a picture of you
And you were gone like a dream in the night
With you went my heart, my love and my light
I didn't know you're name, what could I do
I only had a picture of you, oh yes
That wonderful picture of you
I'm in love with a picture of you, oh yes
A wonderful picture of you

1) Robert Gordon (b. 1947) grew up in Bethesda, M.D., a suburb of Washington D.C. Unlike many of his heroes, he had a relatively comfortable childhood. At a young age, after hearing Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel, he was inspired to choose R'n'R as his future career path, according to Wikipedia. In the mid-seventies Gordon was a part of the then-flourishing downtown NYC punk scene Read Full BioThere are two Robert Gordons. 1) An American rockabilly revivalist. 2) A British techno producer.

In the mid-seventies Gordon was a part of the then-flourishing downtown NYC punk scene, fronting the CBGB regulars, Tuff Darts (who appear on an early CBGB live compilation album). After recording one album with the band ("All for the Love of Rock 'n' Roll) he parted ways with the band to work with such artists as Link Wray and Chris Spedding, both of whom share a love for early rock 'n' roll and rockabilly. Bruce Springsteen wrote the song, Fire, for Gordon and played piano on the studio version which also features the guitar-legend Link Wray.
