Sometimes Tears Wash Away.....What Caused Them To Fall!

She said..... When you took the lover's moon Out of my horizon.... You placed in in another woman's sky Memories in teardrops..... You've really got me crying..... And they're staining everything in sight Like a watercolor painting in the rain What was oh so beautiful has made a sudden change Once love runs down a face it will never be the same Like a watercolor painting in the rain I said..... We can can have it painted over Then, pick out a new frame.... So everything will be alright.. She said..... I tried to call the artist And the voice that answered...said I'm sorry, but the painter died last night.... I guess that leaves our love like...... A watercolor painting in the rain What was oh so beautiful, has made a sudden change Once love runs down a face, it will never be the same Like a watercolor painting in the rain Just....a watercolor painting.......in the rain Protected by copyright All rights reserved

‘Once love runs down a face, it will never be the same Like a watercolor painting in the rain’ - how exquisitely the pain of betrayal is expressed in your emotionally exceptional lyric, Chuck. Metaphorically beautiful and artistically breathtaking with the staining sadness of watercolored tears. A fav my talented friend! Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

What has been smudged, will no longer hold its true color. I like your thought: Being, that you would paint love on a new canvas. Yes, it can be done- but only if the other person wants the same thing. Very sad indeed, when they don't. Tears are left falling, upon the heart. Leaving a stain. This is so beautifully written and presented. ~ Brandy
