The Artist
Words and music by Tod Howarth copyright 2007-2010
You’re drawing someone
The ink dries and you’re done
Love hides in the sorrow on the page
Like you illustrate yourself to everyone
Life keeps you waiting
For the memories worth the while and worth the time
Life isn’t fading
For it’s just begun and anger leaves you blind
I fear in your voice
You see little choice
You writhe in the hate you call your own
But the gift that you were and the gift that you have is so strong
Life keeps you waiting
For the memories worth the while and worth the time
Life isn’t fading
For it’s just begun and anger leaves you blind
Oh yes she’s out there
But you, don’t have a name
She’s in every painting
She’s the beauty hope and the fear, in the frame
Life keeps you waiting for the memories worth the while and worth the time
Life isn’t fading
For it’s just begun and anger leaves you blind
Life keeps you waiting
Life keeps you waiting
Life keeps you waiting
For the memories worth the while and worth the time
You’re painting someone
