I have a picture

It's taken with looks

It wont tell a story

But I'm glad I forgot everything that you say



I choose the colours

And reword the lines

Now somebody's second heart

Ain't the first of mine



Consider the rain now

Out in the cold

Maybe I love you

But our dreams grow old

Outbid my fortune

Out to just win

Tell me that summer

Is coming on in



I got my wallet

Been shot from the start

Feel shot when I'm feeling drained

But we all know how to smile when we're falling apart



You choose the colours now

Let's play with the rest

I never believe at all

But some of us sometimes, are just thrilled, by meeting the blessed



Consider the rain now

Out in the cold

Maybe I love you

But our dreams grow old

Outbid my fortune

Out to just win

Tell me that summer

Is coming on in



I have the oath ring, somebody said

Makes like a twinge running straight through my head

Maybe this fortune is not what it seems

Some of us pin, some of us pin time on our dreams



And saved from the talk shifts

Went straight to your goal

Straight backed and straight laced

Well, you never really

Do you ever really know?



I check on the same day

I checked out the view

I checked all the soft land

Well, it comes so easy from you



Consider the rain now

Out in the cold

Maybe I love you

But our dreams grow old

Outbid my fortune

Out to just win

Tell me that summer

Is coming on in
