A sunrise landscape, a portrait or two
Abstract, cubist, expressionist view
A delicate line, a bold shot of black
Once the brush hits the canvas, there's no turning back
I didn't know when the paint would dry
Kept going back for another try
A stab at the bottom, a dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to
ย
I think I captured you, inspired as I was
You couldn't see it, only because
My first attempt stayed with doubt
Grab my coat, find the door, make my way out
I didn't know when the paint would dry
Kept going back for another try
A stab at the bottom, a dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to
Well, you see a fraud, and no one else knows
A catwalk phenomenon, the emperor's clothes
A faithful likeness, but something ain't right
I painted over you in cadmium blue light
ย
I didn't know when the paint would dry
Kept going back for another try
A stab at the bottom, a dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
A stab at the bottom, a dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to
