Over My Face Lyrics

Walking in the afternoon in the same exact place

Staring at the grass on the faraway side of the lake

Picking my worries off these trees like they're grapes from the vine

Gonna put them all in this wicker basket of mine

A bird sang around in a voice that I seem to know

I apologized, fed it and told it to go

I thought of a beautiful painting I saw the other day

She made such a lovely picture of such an ugly face

But I can't paint

And I don't know what to say

And I don't know how long I can stay

I let all the contents of this basket expire

Instead of showing them to you like I know you desire

I'm shouting with my body halfway in the lake

As I paint ugly pictures of your beautiful face

Cause I can't paint

At the bottom of the lake

As the still water pulls me under, I see this as fate

The bird's webbed feet

Paddle over my face

And I don't know how long I can stay
