Ian Hunter - Michael Picasso lyrics

(ian hunter)

(transcribed by justin purington)

Once upon a time

Not so long ago

People used to stand and stare

At the spider with the platinum hair

They thought you were immortal

We had our ups and downs

Like brothers often do

But I was there for him

He was always there for me

And we were there for you

How can I put into words

What my heart feels?

It's the deepest thing

When somebody you love dies

I just wanted

To give something back to you

Gift to gift

Michaelmichael picasso good night

You used to love our house

You said it was relaxing

Now I walk in the places you walk

I talk in all the spaces you talk

It still hasn't sunk in

Are the words real

That come into my head

On a morning walk?

Do the shadows

Play tricks with my mind?

For it feels like

Nothing has changed

But I know it has

Michaelmichael picasso

Good night

Heal me

Won't you

Heal me?

Nothing lasts forever

Set me free

Heal me

Won't you

Heal me?

I'm the one who's left here

Heal me

Heal me

Heal me

You turned into a ghost

Surrounded by your pain

And the thing that I liked the least

Was sitting 'round hasker street

Lying about the future

And we all sit

In a room full of tears

On a windy day

And I looked out

But none of these words seem right

I just wanted

To give something back to you

Gift to gift

Michaelmichael picasso

Good night
