[00:06.72][01:06.28][02:26.13]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
