Your Artist

Could be your artist then

I would trace lines from the sun across the sides

Or be the poet in my tune

And pull my heart out in each verse I give to you

I'll be the stranger in the dark

The one you pray for in the night that holds a spark

Or be the honest love you seek

Casting words out like a stone from cheek to cheek

Oh, it's a lie, what's the world coming to?

For you know they'll love your name

And every heart you break

There'll be somebody new for you

And every time you die, a million ways inside

I'll always be a fool for you

I'll be the farmer in the field

If you should want to plant the seeds and watch 'em yield

Oh I could be the crook, the thief

The one who'd steal what you desire in your sleep

Oh, it's a lie, what's the world coming to?

For you know they'll love your name

And every heart you break

There'll be somebody new for you

And every time you die a million ways inside

I'll always be a fool

The only locks upon the door

Are from the pie so why'd you look there for?

There's nothing there you'll ever need

Just call out for me

And all the love remains

Every heart I break there'll be somebody new for me

And every time I die

Strung out by the night

I'll always be a fool
