MICHAEL KISKE – Photograph
from the Place Vendome (2005) record
by Eddie (starfire@azet.sk)
Note: This is actually not a Kiske song but a song from a band named Place Vendome,
Michael did all the singing and since they released only one record, which is (against all
hardly known, it is better to file this one under the Michael Kiske folder. Great
how to make a great song with four chords and a little singing skills.

I need more than a memory, and your photograph
Verse 3:
We both depend
Upon the one to understand and comprehend
And though I’ve tried
I’ve got to leave with just an ounce left of my pride
Pre-chorus 3:
Yeah, you ought to know
That I’m only human and only you can deny that I
Needed more than a reason – And your
