Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No true desire burns within me now
I am no artist, lonely and supreme
Fulfilled within myself
Needing no hand
No hand to touch
No eyes to smile
No lips to speak
I am no artist
I am no artist
[Verse 2]
I am (No)
The wind blows in the pines and I am sad
Wanting your presence here (Presence here) (With you)
The bluejay flies over the ruffling water to the hill
Lonely and dark and scattered yet with leaves
[Verse 3]
I'd ask you why
This bird will never go South
When the prophets think he has passed into a sunny Heaven
Why stay here?
When snow blinds in the icy darkness still
When there are strong blue wings to bear you out into a sky
Into a singin' land
[Verse 4]
Needing no hint
No eyes to smile
No lips to speak
I am no artist
I am no artist
I am (I am)
(No)
No artist
[Verse 5]
I'd ask you that
And wait for your reply
Knowing your wisdom must exceed my own
[Verse 6]
The wind blows and the pines line the sand
Wanting you here beside me
Now I know
[Verse 7]
I am no artist
Lonely and supreme
Needing no hand to tie
No eyes to smile
Only your lips
Your presence here
Would seem to send me winging
Southward, mile on mile
[Verse 8]
I am no artist
I am no artist
I am no artist
I am no artist
I am
(No) Artist
