Portrait of a Man Lyrics

When I first met you

You seemed safe and sound

I had yet to learn you were just finding ground

I'm scared for you

I want to help

Is being here good or should I turn around

Your mind is changing gear, and I've come at a sharp turn

Your mind is changing gear, and I've come at a sharp turn

I've only known you a very short time

But I'm proud of you and your counting down time

It makes me so sad

The problems you have

'Cause I've known them well, and maybe that's bad

Or maybe it's right

Can I see you tonight

Your mind is changing view, and I've come while you're learning to yearn

Your mind is changing view, and I've come while you're learning to yearn

I don't want to leave, but I don't want to be the one in the way

I don't want to grieve, your eyes are blue and grey

I don't want to see them look away, I just want to steal you from you

When you're alone in your house

And I walk from your street

I wish I could transplant to you my heartbeat

We talk of past love, somehow it's not weird

You don't express jealousy, you call me your dear

But your mind is changing view, and I've come while you're learning to yearn

Your mind is changing gear, and I've come at a sharp turn

But I don't want to leave, and I don't want to be the one in the way

I don't want to grieve, your eyes are blue and grey

I don't want to see them look away, I just want to steal you and squeeze you

Portrait of a man, man, man
