The Ripples - Portrait lyrics

Heuser/Pierce I painted back in school to pa** the time The time behind the easel eased my mind There's still a still hanging in my den The strokes in white all rushing to the sand Past few years I haven't done too much Since open canva** tops have done enough And even if I found time in the day I wouldn't have a glance to give away Take me home to my brick house back in Brentwood The only one my parents could afford Set the fireflies and purple skies in moonstone And let me stay outside a little more Dreams that once dripped off my father's brush Don't mean too much beside my daughter's touch So find for me the cadmium blue paint Her little eyes look gorgeous at the age Let me mind and let me find time for my family To hear the things they never need to say And when there's someone missing from the kitchen window I'll paint one where her smile never fades
