Georgie Fame - Children Of My Mind lyrics

The painter Who's been painting all his life Ain't a rich man He's got children and a wife But he keeps painting Though he knows when he dies He'll still be poor 'Cause his paintings make his life so much more And he sings Won't somebody see what I have made Don't be afraid, don't be afraid Won't somebody come and see the thing that makes me whole Before the children of my mind Become the orphans of my soul The writer Who's been writing for so long Ain't a rich man No one ever sings his songs but he keeps writing Songs he knows nobody will ever hear 'Cause he knows that if he stops he'll disappear And he sings Won't somebody listen to my song It won't take long No it won't take long Won't somebody listen to the thing that makes me whole Before the children of my mind Become the orphans of my soul Well won't somebody listen to my song It won't take long No it won't take long Won't somebody listen to the thing that makes me whole Before the children of my mind Become the orphans of my soul The children of my mind Become the orphans of my soul
