Natalie

You rubbed your eyes with watercolored skies
I brushed your skin, it was oily and thin
You're stretched out wide with staples on the side
The paint's not set, diluted silhouette
Of streaks that stray cascading blues and grays
I know it's wrong, but I know where you belong

Oh Natalie, well, I think you should stay with me
You say that your heart is on the line
And I can't change your mind
Oh Natalie, I think you should stay with me
I know that I can't take you along
And that is why I wrote you this song

I read your eyes, they're blurry by design
A stolen gaze that's dripping off the page
The strokes run deep
They're raining down on me
But tears can't tear the beauty in your stare
The cracks and creases hidden underneath
Are shining through and drawing me to you

Oh Natalie, I think you should stay with me
I know that I can't take you along
And that is why I wrote you this song

A masterpiece you're holding over me
I touch your hues, but I have no clue
When I should stop trying to paint you
