Lyrics
Paint a Picture
Paint me a pic - ture, A window of my soul
Let it show darkness and........grey
A rainbow gen - tly, Shrouded by a cloud
And hints of blue sky ...........veiled
Paint me a portrait, An image of my mind
A record of my hidden..........scars
Reveal the tones of, Colour that you see
In the brushstrokes you ................. lay down
Chorus:
Paint .... a picture of my soul
Paint .... a picture of my soul
Paint me a landscape, Set the scenery
Maybe oranges and ............... blues?
Let dreams and, Nightmares there unfold
The light and dark of men
Chorus
Instrumental/Chordal piece....
Chorus to finish (repeat last line)
