Adeleine Let me be your canvas please I can be anything you want me to be I'm the sky I'm a tree I'm so blue I'm so green Adeleine Paint me any way you please I can be... The curse of modernity Indifference from a screen Your sister's eye staring back at me A gray pigeon in the park Your neighbor's dog that barks A mean old man A red 1960s soup can I can be what you need, Adeleine You know you can erase me I'm hanging by a thread And you're drawing scissors in my head And you know how to replace me Black Cat, wear me down And throw me out Adeleine Won't you paint over me? Would you believe... My love for you's a mustard seed The moon in a dewdrop, ultramarine The sun in the morning light, tangerine I can be what you need An autumn leaf Waves crashing in the sea A summer porch In your sundress at the front door To reject me Reject me, Adeleine Let me be your jealousy You're better off without me...
