Ballet Crisis - Come Back Gauguin

I walked the fields today
To paint some apple trees
I saw the sun come up
And I buckled at the knees
This life is beauty
And beauty makes me cry
Pain and joy and loneliness
Turn circles in my eyes
And that’s OK
That’s OK
I thought I’d get used to
The pain and loneliness
But all I’m used to
Is the pain
Each time I gaze upon
That silent empty chair
I ask the starry sky
Why it is that you’re not there
You’re not there
Not there
Come back Gauguin
You are my oldest friend
Without you my life is a lie
Come back Gauguin
And touch my weary head
Come back Gauguin or I will die
I walked the fields today
A pistol in my hand
I think I’ll end it now
I’ve borne all that I can
All I ever wanted was
To share the world I see
And maybe coax the world or you
To loving me
Loving me
Loving me
Come back Gauguin
You are my dearest friend
Without you my life is a blur
Come back Gauguin
And hold my trembling hand
Come sit beside my empty bed
Come back Gauguin come back
Come back Gauguin come back
Come back Gauguin come back
Come back Gauguin come back
Come back Gauguin come back
