Lyrics
THE PAINTING words and music by Britt K. Arnesen He traced all of our plans upon a canvas An ordered mingling of lines Tender like the first brush between us Feathered, a sunset goodbye And a finely painted face Of some other lady Whose picture don’t look like mine Postcards and letters from their daydreams Her young love and beauty made him blind He traded our promises for her maybes The mailbox a witness to his crime And a neatly written name Of some other lady Whose song doesn’t sound like mine Sorrow in the shadow of his freedom He’d see heartache if he ever looked behind Betrayal has a way of getting even Hiding snakes in green grass on the other side Where the painting hangs In the home of some other lady Whose colors don’t bleed like mine A finely painted face Of some other lady Whose colors don’t fade like mine
