When I Was a Painter

24 Aug 2016

When I was a painter I used both my hands
Made my living on someone else’s plans
And the past was not a place of regrets
When I was a painter, I was a happy man

When I was a painter, I didn’t speak all day
Let it out in songs, or some other way

Put yourself in position to draw a straight and a clean line

Stand back at the end of the day and you've got something to show for it
Stand back at the end of the day and you've got nothing to owe of it
