Luyện nghe bài hát Estelle

I was painting a still this morning
Of a throat lozenge on a copy of Tropic of Cancer
The only thing weird it is that a year ago
I never I'd paint anything again
I decided I wasn't ever paint again
It didn't bother me too much, dead
David still alive, I don't need to paint

I painted over ten paintings
Sad ones, ones, dark ones and light ones
I've done and rich old ladies by their pools
Wearing nothing but a
I've painted everything there was to
Now it was time to sit back, interviews
Get on the internet, hang out at med
Take stock of what I've

You know, the best I ever had was a dog
It sounds like a cliche unless happened to you
Some days that dog was the reason I even got out of bed
That dog went everywhere me and then I heard the crack addicts
Were stealin' dogs and selling for animal research
It like an urban myth to me like the mouse in the Coke bottle
But I leavin' her at home after that

You know, Paula was my wife for a
She ran off to with the great grandson of Van Gogh
A cartoonist who did graphics for Le Monde
When left she took my dog, I never saw her again
Except in the during the custody battle
She won and got to the dog
And I didn't speak to for months

You know sometimes it
there's so much that you need
Sometimes the world is upside
it seems like the only thing you need
Is someone's hand as you walk through town

I started hanging around Dino
He used to run a poker back east
Now he has a little coffee shop, cappuccino to his old pals
Tommy, Chicago and Jimmy the Wig and Rose

You the best person I ever knew
Was a Mormon woman Estelle
She still calls me drunk few months
And me stuff I don't want to talk about
You can't talk to her long you're drunk yourself
Then we go all

she goes, "Why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Have you your back on love?
You had so many
Why you let 'em all go by?"

Well, one morning I was sitting out in of Dino's place
With Jake the Shears, a guy from Philly who gives free
There a couple of young painters, I was hopin' to come by
So I give 'em some advice

Yeah, I was there updating my list of enemies
When this girl walks in and the kind of stops
out she drank the same tea as me
Don't take than that to start a conversation sometimes
She believed was the greatest of all the arts
And was busy pictures of horses, next to ads for laundry soap
to Mohammed Ali, she had a turquoise in her ear
And said Rachmaninoff was always in her

But later that day I was trying to her to Jimmy the Wig
I couldn't find any words and I realized I'd to sketch her chin
Somehow it didn't look right, I scratched it out and it again
I an entire pad, I threw it away, I never even came close

For a six days I sat at Dino's
The rain quit and no one came in
Finally on the day it cleared and in she walked
I asked her to sit me and I bought her a cup of tea
And I asked her to model for me
That I was at a canvas
She was wearing a yellow
I if she let me, I'd get it right

painted over ten thousand paintings
Sad ones, funny ones, dark ones, and ones
But sitting there, it was like I couldn't even write my own
I apologized and said, "It's been a few
If you patience, I'll get the hang of it again"
In the next few weeks, I painted her of times
If I get the nose right, the too long
If I get 'em both right, the is too thin
But I keep after it and one day I, I'll get it all

I painted a still life this morning, of a lozenge
Sitting on a of Tropic of Cancer
The only thing was is that
I never I'd paint anything again
I think I go visit Estelle
Utah mountains are good for the soul
I'll my brushes and some Jack Daniels
And we can up for lost time

And she said, "Why baby, why baby, why why?
why have you turned your back on love
You had so many
Why you let 'em all go by?"

And she says, "Why baby, why baby, why why?
Baby why have you your back on love
You had so many
Why you let 'em all go by?"

Sometimes it seems like so much that you need
Sometimes the world is down
Sometimes it like the only thing you need
Is holdin' someone's as you walk through town
