Portrait of a girl
Canvas of ages
The stage is hers
Demure and practiced beauty
Holding all enthralled
Portrait of a girl
Object of rumour
A pose at play
They say
'She's fairest of them all'
Paint her in
One colour ends and one begins
Brush away what's stray
Add the finishing touch
The rapture, cold as a pearl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Portrait of a girl (Don't mind me)
(I'm just watching) Painted illusion
(It looks just like you) She'll play her part
She sees that she's a work of art
(Just understand I'm taken in) Paint her in
Watching one colour end
And one begin
Brush away what's stray
There's disguise in her eyes
(Don't know what to say I'm scared I say too much?) Add shadows that dance across
her skin
Block the doubt that cries out within her
Stripped bare beneath all the layers
Would you recognise the girl lying there? (I know there's love lying here)
Sought after
And trapped like a pearl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Daring you to fall
Fairest of them all
