Fingerpaint

You fingerpaint me,
i'll fingerpaint you
remember children, and
the things they like to do
and let your colors flow
as they did long ago
before forgetting how
but you can fingerpaint me now
Is that the sound of the thunder in the eaves?
(look upon me now)
is that the wind that's rising in the trees?
love is the answer
we both have known
why then do we let each other
live and die alone?
you can paint me now
with your tiny hand
And you look at me
and i look at you
remember children and
the things they like to do
and let your feelings show
as they did long ago
before forgetting how,
but you can look upon me now
Is that the sound of the thunder in the eaves?
(look upon me now)
is that the wind that's rising in the trees?
(look upon me now)
love is the answer
Why then do we let each other
live and die alone?
fingerpaint me now
with your tiny hand
you can touch me now
i'm just a man.
