Lyrics:
Well I hear you are a painter now Though you're almost halfway through You pulled a pallet knife, you cut away a wife And you started something new But it was not the strife of married life That ordained what you would do A quick look back through your history Shows the same things goading you It's just like you to try painting Because you're color blind Each time you conquer something That's the time you change you're mind And now your new preoccupations Give you your handicap to start Yes you're happiest when you're chasing clouds With a halfway broken heart Paint a picture of yourself Let the images flash past Don't weep on watercolors Michael make this moment last Paint the kid with restless eyes Yeah the way you looked back then 'Cause the man keeps getting frightened When that boy's not born again I remember how you led us Back when we all were kids And the fact that you were older Made us copy what you did And that day you bought that cheap guitar We all fell into line We got hooked on music But you drifted off in time So I can see you at your easel Splay legged there you stand And your eyes are darting back and forth Brush flashing in your hand Yeah you're reaching always for that dream You need to make you real Leaning in a heavy wind That no one else can feel Paint a picture of yourself Let the images flash past Don't weep on watercolors Michael make this moment last Paint the kid with restless eyes Yeah the way you looked back then 'Cause the man keeps getting frightened When that boy's not born again, again
