Oh my darling, I paint with patience

Adorned my easel and read

On the solemn and forlorn faces
D F#m Bm
With colors of the wind

Like the painter, I sign my name

Where I want it to be found

But you already know

How the story ends now
[Verse 2]
A D A
Like the poet who came before us
D F#m Bm
Now nestled in the grave
A D A
Never one to rejoice in chorus

Or look you in the face
D A D A
More like the ocean that find its home
D F#m Bm
On the bright crest of a wave

As the moon would shine

On its breaking face
[Bridge]

Run far away from your kind

As you carry the life that you left far behind

As the artist relies on the eyes to relay

Oh my darling, I wield my wishes
D F#m Bm
Along the canvas end

Crimson, cad yellow, baby blue

Amaranth are my old friends

All the colors that lend their blessing
D A Bm
Of kindness at a glance

As the light would show

You how they dance
A D
As the light would show
A D
All the light would show
A D
And life would throw
A
You once more chance
