Hey William Mathew Prior
guess what? I’m a painter for hire too
it’s ok
there’s worse things you could be
take it from me
I’ve tried everything
It ain’t what you do
It’s who you do it for
That’s what you are
It ain’t the easiest thing in the world
To paint two eyes and a mouth hole
Lost upon a common face
It’s ok
We won’t look away
chorus
we won’t look away
we won’t look away
till you know our faces
Till you can paint every one
From memory
It’s ok
Don’t look away…
chorus
don’t look away
don’t look away
can you see our ghosts?
would you paint our ghosts?
and William, when you’re a ghost
yeah, William, when you’re a ghost
you’ll be something to see
