"Crazy Old Painter"
(17/06/03)

Verse
Hanging her picture on the wall he says: "Jane, at least I got to paint you
On a brass bed with bright orange poppies just like I always wanted to.
We had some good times in my old rowbode in the pond 'side the old folks home
And private feasts with sandwitches and tea on a bench in the park alone..."

Chorus
I'm just a crazy old painter playing piano,
Singing "do you love me lady Jane, lady Jane."
Or I'm talking about you to Ezra on the phone
"Jane, she's the reason that this old man is filled with rain."
I'm just a crazy old painter playing piano...

Verse
"Should have seen your face when your kids they called, you lit up the intire room.
Remember when I was tickeling your feet, well I still have that peacock plume"
Sitting down at the piano and says: "Wrote you a little something hun,
Know it's not much but it's all I can do, I'm no Joshua Kadison..."

Chorus
I'm just a crazy old painter playing piano
Singing "do you love me lady Jane, lady Jane"
Or I'm talking about you to Ezra on the phone
"Jane, she's the reason that this old man is filled with rain."
I'm just a crazy old painter playing piano...

Bridge
Your daughter Marie came by yesterday
She looks just like you, got your same smile too
She told me " you were good to mom old man
So you'll always be part of our fam'ly"
What could I do, then say "Thank you, Marie"...

Chorus
I'm just a crazy old painter playing piano
Singing "do you love me lady Jane, lady Jane"
Or I'm talking about you to Ezra on the phone
"Jane, she's the reason that this old man is filled with rain."
I'm just a crazy old painter playing piano...

Hallucination-

There is no doubt that you posess talents in the songwriting category. I am extremely impressed with the way you write lyrics and how you convey your ideas through them. I wouldn't mind listening to your songs either.
