Lyrics

Portrait
Jenny Bienemann

Beautiful, splendidly lit
Yet I will only ever be a portrait

The first one turned me to stone
He lit candles to my picture but left me alone

The second one turned me to sand
He learned my names but let their meanings slip through his hands

Let your love be, let your love, let your love be

Beautiful, tenderly lit
Until you let me be I am only just a portrait
