《Paint a Picture of Yourself (Michael)》歌词

[00:00:01] Paint A Picture Of Yourself (Michael) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:19] Well I hear you are a painter now

[00:00:22] Though you're almost halfway through

[00:00:25] You pulled a pallet knife you cut away a wife

[00:00:29] And you started something new

[00:00:32] But it was not the strife of married life

[00:00:35] That ordained what you would do

[00:00:39] A quick look back through your history

[00:00:42] Shows the same things goading you

[00:00:47] It's just like you to try painting

[00:00:50] Because you're color blind

[00:00:53] Each time you conquer something

[00:00:56] That's the time you change you're mind

[00:01:00] And now your new preoccupations

[00:01:03] Give you your handicap to start

[00:01:06] Yes you're happiest when you're chasing clouds

[00:01:10] With a halfway broken heart

[00:01:14] Paint a picture of yourself

[00:01:18] Let the images flash past

[00:01:21] Don't weep on watercolors

[00:01:24] Michael make this moment last

[00:01:27] Paint the kid with restless eyes

[00:01:30] Yeah the way you looked back then

[00:01:34] 'Cause the man keeps getting frightened

[00:01:37] When that boy's not born again

[00:01:58] I remember how you led us

[00:02:01] Back when we all were kids

[00:02:04] And the fact that you were older

[00:02:07] Made us copy what you did

[00:02:10] And that day you bought that cheap guitar

[00:02:14] We all fell into line

[00:02:17] We got hooked on music

[00:02:20] But you drifted off in time

[00:02:31] So I can see you at your easel

[00:02:35] Splay legged there you stand

[00:02:38] And your eyes are darting back and forth

[00:02:41] Brush flashing in your hand

[00:02:44] Yeah you're reaching always for that dream

[00:02:47] You need to make you real

[00:02:51] Leaning in a heavy wind

[00:02:54] That no one else can feel

[00:02:59] Paint a picture of yourself

[00:03:02] Let the images flash past

[00:03:05] Don't weep on watercolors

[00:03:08] Michael make this moment last

[00:03:12] Paint the kid with restless eyes

[00:03:14] Yeah the way you looked back then

[00:03:18] 'Cause the man keeps getting frightened

[00:03:21] When that boy's not born again again
