Luyện nghe bài hát Estelle

I was painting a life this morning
Of a throat lozenge sitting on a copy of of Cancer
The only weird about it is that a year ago
I never thought I'd paint anything
I decided I ever gonna paint again
It didn't bother me too much, dead
David Hockney's still alive, I need to paint

I painted ten thousand paintings
Sad ones, ones, dark ones and light ones
I've done haystacks and rich old ladies by their
Wearing but a scarf
I've painted there was to paint
Now it was time to sit back, give
Get on the internet, hang out at med
Take of what I've done

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

You know, Paula was my wife for a
She ran off to Paris with the grandson of Van Gogh
A cartoonist who did graphics for Le Monde
When Paula left she took my dog, I saw her again
Except in the court during the battle
She won and got to the dog
And I didn't speak to anyone for

You know it feels
Like there's so that you need
Sometimes the world is down
Sometimes it seems like the only you need
Is holdin' someone's as you walk through town

I started around with Dino
He to run a poker game back east
Now he has a coffee shop, sells cappuccino to his old pals
Tommy, Chicago and Jimmy the Wig and Ugly

You the best person I ever knew
Was a Mormon woman named
She still me drunk every few months
And asks me stuff I want to talk about
You can't to her long unless you're drunk yourself
we go all night

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

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

Yeah, I was sittin' there my list of enemies
When this girl walks in and the universe of stops
Turned out she drank the tea as me
take more 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
Next to Ali, she had a turquoise in her ear
And said Rachmaninoff was always in her

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

For a six days I sat at Dino's
The rain wouldn't and no one came in
Finally on the seventh day it and in she walked
I asked her to sit me and I bought her a cup of tea
And I asked her to for me sometime
That afternoon I was at a
She was wearing a dress
I if she let me, I'd get it right

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

I painted a life this morning, of a throat lozenge
Sitting on a copy of of Cancer
The only thing was is that
I never thought I'd anything again
I think I might go visit
Those Utah are good for the soul
bring my brushes and some Jack Daniels
And we can make up for lost

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

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

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