I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man |
| [00:27.37] |
Who has taken all the heart aches |
| [00:37.13] |
And all the pain he can stand |
| [00:46.45][03:23.35] |
I am using all the colors of blue |
| [00:56.28][03:33.16] |
I have here on my stand |
| [01:26.12] |
I can tell he is dying. I see death in his eyes |
| [01:46.13] |
Oh yes I know, I know when he's crying |
| [01:55.78] |
'Tis my tears, my tears that he cries |
| [02:05.60] |
I am so tired of how he feels inside |
| [02:14.91] |
I mix the paint with my hand |
| [02:44.70] |
As I paint a wrinkled brow and hair that is turning grey |
| [03:04.66] |
Oh tell me how, how can I paint a smile |
| [03:14.10] |
And eyes that keep turning away? |
| [03:43.10] |
I am painting in oil, a portrait and I'm the man |
| [03:52.65][04:00.25] |
A portrait and I am the man |
