lyrics

She came on a summer’s day
To see a man, about a room
He made her feel so welcome
That she knew, this could be home
Unpack boxes, join yoga classes, smile awkwardly at important men in the office who are eyeing her
Starting anew,
When she comes home in the evening he’s there
Listening to every word

When she looks into his eyes
He’s searching for some peace of mind
With an eagerness to please
A blank canvas is what she sees
A blank canvas is what she sees

He notices a yellowed postcard on her bedroom wall
Memories of loved ones, at every port of call
She’s sweet in a special way
And her smile lifts the gloom
High hopes he can make her stay
And a love, will bloom

But when she looks into his eyes
He’s searching for some peace of mind
With an eagerness to please
A blank canvas is what she sees
A blank canvas is what she sees

When she looks into his eyes
He’s searching for some peace of mind
With an eagerness to please
A blank canvas is what she sees
A blank canvas is what she sees

She left in an awkward way
His heavy heart, She has her youth
Her first grown up heartbreak
And she couldn’t tell the truth
