Peering through braids of faces adorned
A question of time which had passed
His palette now smeared with wishes forgone
Her time had faded at last

Now a tuck of the brush replaced his smooth stroke
Where once her fair hair had fallen
Though his hands no longer imitated his eyes
Her image remained fair and yet sullen

He appears in a court of crumbling stone runes
Each one revealing his dreams
A search for her portrait proved utterly fruitless
Lost within his palette it seems

...just bein' Bluesy
