about

A song I had been developing for some time before I finished ready for the release of this album. It's about the question, 'better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all?'

lyrics

Her Clothes
Still carry
Of the scent
Of her skin

In weathered lines
Drawn in charcoal
And tempered
In sin

The paint runs on this painting

I wondered
the shore
Where we used
to skim stones

A thousand times
in my mind's eye
and how my heart yearns

The pain runs on this painting

And even when I smile,
The colours run and fade -
I'm with you for a while,
but soon I have to wake

And I know it won't be long
Until you're in my very soul
And I would go with you my dear
an age for every aching hour

-Instrumental-

I don't want to live
in that life of regret
that it's the you
I never knew
that I cannot forget

Are you out there somewhere?

A brush slowly moves
on a canvass of oil;
the imperfect creation
of an artists toil,

Because the paint runs on this painting,

And even when I smile,
The colours run and fade -
and I'm with you for a while,
but soon I have to wake

And I know it won't be long
Until you're in my very soul,
And I would go with you my dear
an age for every wasted hour

The paint runs on this painting
