Portrait of a Girl

Portrait of a girl
Canvas of ages
The stage is hers
Demure and practiced beauty
Holding all in thrall

Portrait of a girl
Object of rumor
A pose at play
They say "She's fairest of them all"

Paint her in
One color ends and one begins
Brush away what's stray
Add a 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 color end and one begin
Brush away what's stray
There's disguise in her eyes (Don't know what to say)
Add shadows that dance across her skin (I'm scared I'll say too much)
Hide that doubt that cries out within her
Stripped bare beneath all the layers
Would you recognize the girl lying there? (I know there's love lying there)
Sought after, 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
