Chapin, Harry - Paint A Picture Of Yourself (Michael) 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
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 your mind
And now your new preoccupations
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 the boy's not born again
I remember how you led us
Back when we all were kids
And that fact thet you were older
Made us copy what you did
The 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 ther you stand
And your eyes are darting back and forth
Brush flashing in your hand
You're reaching always for that dream
You need to make you real
Leaning in a heavy wind
That no one else can feel

Chapin, Harry Paint A Picture Of Yourself (Michael) Comments
Love this song. But truthfully I can't think of one of Harry's songs I didn't like.
I remember waiting for this album to come out, of course before the web and even music videos. It was a different world. In between going to concerts, vinyl was your connection to artists. I wonder how many times I played this album, and looked at the album cover while playing it.... I had in hand tickets to what would have been the 12th and 13th time I would have seen him live, when he died. He still seems 38 y.o. in my head . . . .
I LOVE YOU TOO!
Great song. I'm surprised there aren't more appreciative comments (thumbs up emoticon)
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Thank you for posting this amazing song!! :)
Thanks for posting!
