lirik lagu screamin jay hawkins - portrait of a man

i am painting in oil, a portrait of a man
who has taken all the heart aches,
and all the pain he can stand.

i am using all the colors of blue,
i have here on my stand.
i am painting in oil, a portrait of a man.

i can tell he is dying. i see death in his eyes.
oh yes i know, i know when he’s crying
’tis my tears, my tears that he cries.

i am so tired of how he feels inside,
i mix the paint with my hand.
i am painting in oil, a portrait of a man.

as i paint a wrinkled brow and hair that is turning grey,
oh tell me how, how can i paint a smile
and eyes that keep turning away?

i am using all the colors of blue
i have here on my stand.
i am painting in oil, a portrait and i’m the man.

a portrait and i am the man.
