Paint A Picture Of Yourself (michael) Lyrics - Harry Chapin

Well, I hear you are a painter now 

Though you're almost halfway through 

You pulled a pallet knife, you cut away a wife 

And you started something new 

But, it was not the strife of married life 

That ordained what you would do 

A quick look back through your history 

Shows the same things goading you 

It's just like you to try painting 

Because you're color blind 

Each time you conquer something 

That's the time you change your mind 

And now your new preoccupations 

Give you your handicap to start 

Yes, you're happiest when you're chasing clouds 

With a halfway broken heart

Paint a picture of yourself 

Let the images flash past 

Don't weep on watercolors, Michael 

Make this moment last 

Paint the kid with restless eyes 

Yeah, the way you looked back then 

'Cause the man keeps getting frightened 

When the boy's not born again 

I remember how you led us 

Back when we all were kids 

And that fact thet you were older 

Made us copy what you did 

The day you bought that cheap guitar 

We all fell into line 

We got hooked on music 

But you drifted off in time

So, I can see you at your easel 

Splay legged ther you stand 

And your eyes are darting back and forth 

Brush flashing in your hand 

You're reaching always for that dream 

You need to make you real 

Leaning in a heavy wind 

That no one else can feel
