| Paint You A Picture Winter's on its way And the nights are long The sun called it a day Hours ago I thought we'd be together But I thought wrong Just too much heavy weather For you, I know, for much too long So let me paint you a picture While the winter sun is sinking Two rocks in the glass Two guesses what I'm drinking The first guess doesn't count The bottle's almost through Let me paint a picture A picture for you Chimneys are blowing Billows of smoke The skyline is glowing Facing south I'm yours for the taking I'm two kinds of broke And I'm still aching For the taste of your mouth Let me paint you a picture Of the river in November Right before it freezes Before it's too much to remember The things we used to talk about Believing they'd come true Let me paint a picture A picture for you Let me paint you a picture From my window today There's a hawk that keeps hovering Over its prey There's a gun-metal sky With patches of blue Let me paint a picture Paint a picture for you The canvas will dry And the tears will too Let me paint a picture Paint a picture for you David Crosby Lighthouse 2016 |
