about

A song for runaway hopes despite acknowledged realities.

lyrics

STROKES OF GOLD

I saw you like a portrait
That was framed by your bedroom door
The sunlight poured through the window
Across your bed, and spilled out on the floor

All of your faults
Brushed over with strokes of gold
And your eyes, shone with light from your soul
And my pain turned to words soft and kind
The things I do, the things I do to ease my worried mind

I saw you as the person
That I longed, longed for you to be
Guess the fault wasn't yours
It was mine for seeing what I wanted to see

I should have lied to tell you the truth
I should have taken those pills from you
I should have locked away my heart and threw away the key
To protect myself, to save myself from you

Everyone they keep saying
It's all a part of your disease
For me it just ain't that easy,
not the way it would seem
I've been taken for granted
and I've been used and swept aside
But I won't have any regrets because no one can say
I didn't try

All of your faults
Brushed over with strokes of gold
And your eyes shone with light from your soul
And my pain turned to words soft and kind
The things I do, the things I do to ease my worried mind
