Paint A Picture Of Yourself (Michael) (LP Version) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
Well I hear you are a painter now[00:00:19]
Though you're almost halfway through[00:00:22]
You pulled a pallet knife you cut away a wife[00:00:25]
And you started something new[00:00:29]
But it was not the strife of married life[00:00:32]
That ordained what you would do[00:00:35]
A quick look back through your history[00:00:39]
Shows the same things goading you[00:00:42]
It's just like you to try painting[00:00:47]
Because you're color blind[00:00:50]
Each time you conquer something[00:00:53]
That's the time you change you're mind[00:00:56]
And now your new preoccupations[00:01:00]
Give you your handicap to start[00:01:03]
Yes you're happiest when you're chasing clouds[00:01:06]
With a halfway broken heart[00:01:10]
Paint a picture of yourself[00:01:14]
Let the images flash past[00:01:18]
Don't weep on watercolors[00:01:21]
Michael make this moment last[00:01:24]
Paint the kid with restless eyes[00:01:27]
Yeah the way you looked back then[00:01:30]
'Cause the man keeps getting frightened[00:01:34]
When that boy's not born again[00:01:37]
I remember how you led us[00:01:58]
Back when we all were kids[00:02:01]
And the fact that you were older[00:02:04]
Made us copy what you did[00:02:07]
And that day you bought that cheap guitar[00:02:10]
We all fell into line[00:02:14]
We got hooked on music[00:02:17]
But you drifted off in time[00:02:20]
So I can see you at your easel[00:02:31]
Splay legged there you stand[00:02:35]
And your eyes are darting back and forth[00:02:38]
Brush flashing in your hand[00:02:41]
Yeah you're reaching always for that dream[00:02:44]
You need to make you real[00:02:47]
Leaning in a heavy wind[00:02:51]
That no one else can feel[00:02:54]
Paint a picture of yourself[00:02:59]
Let the images flash past[00:03:02]
Don't weep on watercolors[00:03:05]
Michael make this moment last[00:03:08]
Paint the kid with restless eyes[00:03:12]
Yeah the way you looked back then[00:03:14]
'Cause the man keeps getting frightened[00:03:18]
When that boy's not born again again[00:03:21]
