Lyrics Lou Christie

Lou Christie

Painter

Painter

Put my hurt on paper

Make the colors lonely

From gold to gray

Paint her shadow walking away

(Walking away) paint the

End of the world today

And paint me crying on my knees

Paint the trees without no leaves

Green for my envy

Red cause I'm angry

Gray for depression

Losing love was my lesson

Paint me

Come on, come on, paint me

Come on, come on, paint me

Paint me mixed up

Abstract twist her heart

And pay her back

Let the colors run together

Is this my life forever

Forever, forever

Paint me on the back streets

Of town (backstreets of town)

She started my world spinning round

(Backstreets of town)

And paint me crying on my knees

Paint the trees without no leaves

Silver for my tears

Blue for the comming years

Yellow for the good times

Life has no reason or rhyme

Paint me

Come on, come on, paint me

Come on, come on, paint me

Paint me mixed up

Paint me crying on my knees

Paint the trees without no leaves

Black for her gown of lace

Beside her, an empty space

The chapel bells that he erased

From now on, I'll wear a false face

Paint me

Come on, come on, paint me

Come on, come on, paint me

Paint me mixed up

Paint me

Come on, come on, paint me

Come on, come on, paint me

Come on, come on, paint me
