--Painting Over Bruises--
Lyrics By Bill Silver
Music By Robert Thomson

--verse1--

We used to dress up the world
In flowers
Used to pluck clouds out of the sky
Used to build towers on the shoreline
Watch them survive the whitewash tide
But you know what they say about good times
You know what they say about good times

--chorus--

Tonight I may be rolling sixes
But it's you that she misses
And you may wish you were me
But it's you I wish I were
So do me the least I deserve
And remember
Me
To Her

--verse2--

I'm all for painting over bruises
With smiles
I'm the greatest artist in that way
Used to hit the tiles on a Saturday
Wash away the aches and pains
But you know what they say when it rains
You know what they say when it rains

--chorus--

(Bridge):

Remember me to her
Embers die and memories blur
Away
Here's a song we used to play
See if it stirs her

--chorus--
