A Painted Hope

i’m waiting for a chance to say
that your eyes are so pretty
like the stars in the cloudless night

don’t you think i’m crazy
don’t you like my ways

love seems so easy
and i wish you so dearly
giving my heart a lift, like a kite

don’t you think i’m crazy
don’t you like my ways

(cause) you faded away like the sunshine of a rainy day
you faded away and you didn’t wait for the summer sky

well i guess you’re a painted hope
i should have known, through your eyes
it’s no use thinking i’m a grig
