The Joy Of Painting - Charades lyrics

When the sun is down And our tabs are up It's the only time To be honest enough It's a pity to know Unless our boots do break Oh I'll stick to the valley If you stick to the lake Charades are what we play A guessing game, prone to mistake It's make believe; it's not the real thing Maybe the real thing feels the same Your face is red While my heart is blue It's an old cliche Found in a country tune It's a shame, it's shame That it's too late I'll stick to the valley If you stick to the lake Unless I can woo you And prove I am true to you Maybe things will reverse with a little bit of time But I don't wanna lie to you When the lights go down And the show is done We go back to the start We go back to square one We already know that we made a mistake Oh I'll stick to the valley If you stick to the lake
