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
