I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man Who has taken all the heart aches And all the pain he can stand I am using all the colors of blue I have here on my stand I can tell he is dying. I see death in his eyes Oh yes I know, I know when he's crying 'Tis my tears, my tears that he cries I am so tired of how he feels inside I mix the paint with my hand As I paint a wrinkled brow and hair that is turning grey Oh tell me how, how can I paint a smile And eyes that keep turning away? I am painting in oil, a portrait and I'm the man A portrait and I am the man
