Must I Paint You A Picture

intro: It's bad timing and me We find a lot of things out this way And there's you A little black cloud in a dress The temptation To take the precious things we have a part To see how they work Must be resisted for they never fit together again If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me If these are tears let them fall Must I paint you a picture About the way that I feel You know that my love for you is strong girl You know that my love for you is real It took a short walk and a talk To change the rules of engagement While you searched frantically for reverse And then claiming That virtue never tested is no virtue at all And so I lost my ignorance And now the bells across the river chime out your name I look across to them again Must I paint you a picture About the way that I feel You know that my love for you is strong girl You know that my love for you is real (Bridge) All your friends said come down It will never fly And on that imperfect day We threw it all away Crisis after crisis, with such intensity This would never happen if we lived by the sea Most important decisions in life Are made between two people in bed I found that at my own expense And when I see you You juts turn around and walk away like we never met Oh we used to be so brave I dreamt the wolrd stopped turning as we climbed the hill I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still Must I paint you a picture About the way that I feel You know that my love for you is strong girl You know that my love for you is real
