lyrics

Wasn't it you
Who painted me in blue?
Landscapes in your eyes
High as the skies
And painting what the night told you to

Too crude you said
To paint me all in red
A momentary muse
To be moved to be used
And left unmade in the bed

Oooooh

I could have been
A picture in green
Carnations in my hair
Cleaned of every care
And freed from every sorrow I've seen

I could have glowed
In oranges and yellows
Bold and bright
A warming sight
For all the friends at your show

Ooooh

They will offer silver
They will offer gold
Just for a glimmer
Just for a hold
Of the girl inside the frame
The girl inside the paint

But you won't let them touch me
You'll hold my shadow close
Then hang me somewhere
No one else knows
The muse you moved the most
The muse you used the most
The muse you held too close

Wasn't it you
Who painted me in blue?
