Painted Faces

lyrics

Thunder and lightning
on my birthday
We had a good Christmas
while you were gone
New years was just
another reason
To know that all our best years
we save for when we're grown

Now, I need to believe
So don't close the door on me
These painted faces in the dark
Are trying
just a little bit too hard

pull out the silver
from your suitcase
turn your mind off and
close the door
I drew you a picture
with a pencil
A little boy laughing
his face against the floor

the time spent with you by my side
was only in mind
not only in my mind
all the fields of green and of red
they're not only in my head
not only in my head
