Must I Paint You a Picture

<br>Its bad timing and me<br><br>We find a lot of things out this way<br><br>And theres you<br><br>A little black cloud in a dress<br><br>The temptation<br><br>To take the precious things we have apart<br><br>To see how they work<br><br>Must be resisted for they never fit together again<br><br>If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me<br><br>If these are tears let them fall<br><br><br><br>Chorus:<br><br>Must I paint you a picture<br><br>About the way that I feel<br><br>You know my love for you is strong, girl<br><br>You know my love for you is real<br><br><br><br>It took a short walk and a talk<br><br>To change the rules of engagement<br><br>While you searched frantically for reverse and them claiming<br><br>That virtue never tested is no virtue at all<br><br>And so I lost my ignorance<br><br>And now the bells across the river chime out your name<br><br>I look across to them again<br><br><br><br>All your friends said come down<br><br>It will never fly<br><br>And on that imperfect day<br><br>We threw it all away<br><br>Crisis after crisis, with such intensity<br><br>This would never happen if we lived by the sea<br><br><br><br>Most important decisions in life<br><br>Are made between two people in bed<br><br>I found that out at my expense<br><br>And when I see you<br><br>You just turn around and walk away like we never met<br><br>Oh we used to be so brave<br><br>I dreamt the world stopped turning as we climbed the hill<br><br>I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still
