lyrics

Painted Lady
Wandering Nomad
Where do you go..?

Painted Lady
Never do you stay

Painted Lady
I just want to say
Won't you give me the time of day...

*

Seem to slip through our fingers
Just like I'd like to do
No replies to our questions
To the envy of few

Why my feelings feel tainted
I don't wish to explain
Keep our make believe stories
Or we'll sink into pain

Never needed this mystery
What a waste of our hours
Gliding over the seasons
With no sense of the ground

Beat those wings for distraction
So that nobody sees
What it is laying silent
Yet so hard to set free

*

...Painted Lady
I've come to believe
It's time to leave you be

Quite contrary
My migratory fairy

Now we'll watch you fly
Even though you never
Gave me the time of day

Alice Mary Williamson 2016
