Produced by Jim Abbiss

Lyrics

Painting Pictures

Painting pictures with my mind Making memories using my eyes Filling up my heart with golden stories Who adds some spice to the rhythm of life Ooh Welcome sunrise with the morning glory I've changed my mind There is no simple life for me I want to see I want to feel my heartbeat so With the world that you feeling I can feel the pressure pushing onto my heart And it's teasing me So scratch my itch and beat my drum So I can start to begin what's begun Painting pictures Filling up my heart with golden stories Painting pictures Filling up my heart with golden stories Running riots inside my soul Fire burning and it's lighting me up To scratch my itch and beat my drum So I can finish what I have begun Painting pictures Filling up my heart with golden stories Painting pictures Filling up my heart with golden stories
