the finished portrait

it's a long way to fall between winter and spring 
what would you say if I released everything?
the wind in my sail, the tide on my beach 
how far does my song need to go to reach? 

if I wrote you a song, would you sing along? 
adding some lyrics and music of your own 
is it all just an exercise in my futility? 
could it be that I have everything you need? 

do you think I am your just dessert?
to make you happy and remove the hurt
to expand the empty chambers in your heart 
the finished portrait, a true work of art 

if I wrote you a song, would you sing along? 
adding some lyrics and music of your own 
when the verses take hold and it all filters in 
where your heart finds a place to call home
