The Painted Word

"Interesting place, this
I like it here!
I think I'll stay and see what happens."

If I wanted to, I'd write a book
But it would take some time
I'll spend my life writing poetry
Thinking of words that have to rhyme

[Chorus]
Observe
The painted word

But if a picture paints a thousand words
Then I will paint a book for you
And you can read between the lines
The truth, whole truth, nothing but the truth

[Chorus]

[Refrain]
You held my hands
You kissed my lips
You told me you were leaving me
Now all the pain and hurt I feel
Hangs on the walls for all to see

[Chorus]

If you can't find the words to write
You can't think of the words that rhyme
Take a brush and take some paint
Show me what you feel inside

[Chorus]

[Refrain]

[Chorus]

The painted word (The painted word)
The painted word (The painted word)

If I wanted to I'd write a book
But it would take some time
I'd spend my life writing poetry
Thinking of words that have to rhyme
I just haven't got the time
