Be Your Muse — Today’s song is for Nicole over at louisebread, who asked:
What’s something realistic I can draw?
Last time someone suggested a baby elephant, and apparently everyone loved it :)
I trust you guys, so any ideas?
When Eli read this question, he turned to me and said: “If I knew a girl who could draw, I’d want her to draw me.” We both nodded to this, and I kept nodding as Eli picked up his guitar and slide. Enjoy the tune, Nicole, and thanks for the inspiration! — K.C.
Be Your Muse
Well, you’ve been showing me your sketches for years,
and I remember each and every one.
Them tattos, that baby elephant,
and them racy ones you’d never show your mom.
And you ask me what should be next,
and I think something real:
Something like me.
And the way I feel about you;
Yeah, darlin’,
I’d like to be your muse.
I’d like to watch the way
you hold a pencil,
and the chh, chh, chh it makes
as it glides across the page.
I’d like the watch the way you bite your lip
as you focus on me.
So, when you ask what should be next,
I think something real:
Something like me.
And the way I feel about you;
‘Cause, baby,
I’d like to be your muse.
And, darlin’,
you’re getting good.
You got a sense of light and shading
that most never could.
But somehow you’ve missed the light that’s in my eyes
everytime I look at you.
Baby, I want to be your muse.
