With her own paintings hanging all around
In a little house with a creaking sound
Peeling paper that is faded brown
she pulls out an old postcard
pictured from the front yard
full of bills she owes heat and
she pulls out an old postcard.
What we want and what we need
to understand when we look
Sent to us by a long lost friend,
rediscovered to remind us that
What we want and what we need
A man who wanted to buy that house
and fill it with his love
But their dreams could never
Between the shadows and harsh daylight
What we want and what we need
To understand when we look
Sent to us by a long lost friend
Rediscovered to remind us that
What we want and what we need
She paints the colors she has seen,
Hangs it up in her bedroom,
it makes her smile even through the gloom
What we want and what we need
To understand when we look
Sent to us by a long -lost friend
Prediscovered to remind us that
What we want and what we need
Sent to us by a long -lost friend
Rediscover to remind us that
What we want and what we need
What we want and what we need
