You paint me pictures that fade so fast To try and fool me You give me words that will never last But you won't rule me I shield my skin from the stinging rain My eyes I cover I walk across these privileged fields To the sound of the clumsy lover If you think you can hold me down I beg to differ If you think you can twist my words I'll sing forever You cannot change a mother's love for her child With the ill you bring You're sending gifts that nobody wants With the cool fresh winds of spring You change your shape and you change your face So I can't see you You travel from a different land But I can feel you
