In an outdoor cafe you drew my picture Drinking coffee all alone I looked up and I caught you staring At a picture all your own Tell me what are you seeing? Do you think that I’m alone? And do those lines upon your paper Say I’m someone that you’ve known Well I wonder what you’d do if I told you That I’m a painter just like you I paint your picture with these words Instead of brushes like you do Tell me what are you seeing? Do you think that I’m alone? And do those lines upon your paper Say I’m someone that you’ve known Now it’s a writer or a painter Who can take a stranger home Captured in the lines upon the paper In a picture or a poem Do you see what I’m seeing That you’re another one alone And do these lines upon my paper Say you’re someone that I’ve known?
