rhapsody in mist
i painted portraits in the sky
a rhapsody in mist
yet the faces constantly seemed to change
as the wind blew through them from up high
once i painted a towering castle
all too soon which fell to ruin
the foundation crumbled and drifted apart
i'll paint another, it's not such a hassle
then i painted a hovering starship
which disintegrated into the sky
it slowly faded apart and was lost
perhaps just an ill-fated trip
i painted your eyes looking down on me
watching me as i sat there crying
then in the breath of wind you too went away
and there was no longer your sight to see
none of these pictures actually exist
they are just figments of my mind
of things that i might like to find
found only in the rhapsody in mist
