Portrait of a Man |
| I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man |
| Who has taken all the heart aches |
| And all the pain he can stand |
| I am using all the colors of blue |
| I have here on my stand |
| I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man |
| I can tell he is dying. |
| I see death in his eyes |
| Oh yes I know, I know when he’s crying |
| 'Tis my tears, my tears that he cries |
| I am so tired of how he feels inside |
| I mix the paint with my hand |
| I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man |
| As I paint a wrinkled brow and hair that is turning grey |
| Oh tell me how, how can I paint a smile |
| And eyes that keep turning away? |
| I am using all the colors of blue |
| I have here on my stand |
| I am painting in oil, a portrait and I’m the man |
| A portrait and I am the man |
