Winter's on its way
The nights are long
The sun call you today
Hours ago
I thought we'd be together
But I thought wrong
Just too much heavy weather
For you I know
For much too long
So let me paint you a picture While the winter sun is sinking
To rocks in the glass
To guesses what I'm drinking
The first guess doesn't count
The bottle's almost through
Let me paint a picture
A picture for you
Chimneys are blowing Billows of smoke
The
skyline is glowing Facing south
I'm yours for the taking I'm two cans of broke
And I'm still aching
For the taste of your mouth
Let me paint you a picture
Of the river in November
Right before it freezes Before it's too much to remember
The things we used to talk about
Believe me they come true
Let me paint a picture
A picture for you
Let me paint you a picture
From my window today
There's a hulk that keeps hovering
Over his prey
There's a gun that'll sky
With patches of blue
Let me paint a picture
Paint a picture for you
The candles will dry
And tears will too
Let me paint a picture
Paint a picture for you
