Cover art for 20 Years lyrics by Civil Wars, The

I love this song- in my head, I see two young people in love and wanting to run off together, but something happens and one of them has to go away, but wants the other to wait and remember them, hence the photo. When they return, they aren't there or have moved on and the other person is still waiting, even after 20 years.
