Ahhh… ohhh… ahhh… You only visit when the lights are low Between the turpentine and the cold window I hear you breathing in empty space Every night I redraw your face I promised myself I’d let you fade… But I break that promise every day… Stand still while I paint you again Don’t move, don’t leave, don’t end If I finish the portrait you’ll disappear So I keep you forever right here Every color turns into you Every memory bleeds into blue I fall in love each time that I start You’re just a ghost inside my art Ahhh… stay… Ohhh… stay… If the paint dries… will you go? If I let you live… will I lose you? Ahhh… stay in the light… Ohhh… stay in the night… Stand still while I paint you again Even if loving you ruins my hands If I finish the portrait you’ll disappear So I keep you forever right here Every color turns into you Every memory bleeds into blue I fall in love each time that I start You’re just a ghost inside my art I leave you unfinished… My love.
