|
Gonna paint a picture
|
Gonna put it in a frame
|
So I can show you how I'm feelin'
|
Without having to explain
|
And you can hang it from your ceiling
|
In your safe and happy home
|
When you come to understand it
|
You'll know you're not alone
|
|
Once upon a time
|
We could speak our minds
|
|
(Chorus)
|
But now I don't believe you Gwendolyn
|
I don't believe you're all that strong
|
I don't believe you know the dangers
|
Of this road you're travelin' on
|
You're always asking questions
|
That you know the answers to
|
Tell me please
|
What do you want from me
|
|
Gonna write a song
|
Gonna tell it like it is
|
And if you recognize yourself
|
I know you're going to be pissed
|
And if you call me on it
|
I'll deny it through and through
|
Just like Woody Allen would
|
If he were in my shoes
|
|
Once upon a time
|
I could speak my mind
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Gonna write a letter
|
Gonna mail it to myself
|
Sincerely and forever
|
You and yours can go to hell
|
Well, then I'll put it in my pocket
|
So when this all comes crashing down
|
I'll have a way to show you
|
How long I've been wearing down.
|
Once upon a time
|
We could speak our minds
|
(Chorus 2x)
