You said you were busy
but when I took it to my heart
I saw a picture in my mind
of the beauty that had come
of your wisdom that aside to the facts of life

Chorus:Paint a picture in my mind
Show me the facts of life
Use your wisdom to read the story of my life
'Cause when it comes to the facts
paint a picture in my mind

Show the river flow into the ocean
Let your hair flow adrift
Let the breeze cool your soul
Let rain wash you face
so I can see you in my mind

Chorus

These are the facts of life
They apper a million times in mine
So as an escape
From the city to an open valley road
Lets sail away into the distance
Leaving all our love behind I can see It in my mind

Chorus

My mind
