Lyrics
Whenever I am sad Whenever I am blue I contemplate what is a portrait A portrait of you It's stained and worn And dirty and scummy A photograph of your brother Thought funny Dropped in the snow Got vague and runny
(What were talking about here Is a portrait of you This thing got lost And my heart is aching)
A friend who found it Called another friend Who heard a description Beginning and end Drew your picture Every shadow and bend Xeroxed his drawing Got stoned and lost it
(If I ever get my hands on that... I suppose I ought to be grateful)
A radio ham Inconsequently, found it And sent it in morse code... Dit dot...
I received this message And made a drawing (Actually) I made a scrawl (A kind of) graphical carnage A mess of erasures But (somehow) it looked like you I still have this drawing It looks like a couple of boyscouts In a soggy tent But I don't care It's only a picture since I went That I've got of you To see me through The only portrait of you
