"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'd spend my life writing poetry   thinking of words that have to rhyme      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      observe the painted word      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 wall for all to see      observe the painted word      if you can't find the words to write   if you can't think of the words to rhyme   take a brush and take some paint   show me what you feel inside      observe the painted word      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 wall for all to see      observe 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
