Portrait Of A Friend (Cici's Song)

PORTRAIT OF A FRIEND (CICI'S SONG) - Written by Carroll Bryant

If you look closely in her eyes

You might be surprised

Because deep inside you're gonna find

What you don't realize

That hiding in the child

Is a secret other life

Dreams that burn with a light

Enough to make you blind

And even in the darkest night

Comfort she will find

In the strength of all her might

Enough to win the fight

She's a shadow of herself

A victim of somebody else and

Everytime I try to picture

What it must be like

I ... get a snowy vision

Of time always losing time

And why does it even matter

If the heart inside is fine

It's nothing like I pictured

She changes all the time

All the time

She can make you laugh one minute

Then she can make you cry

You can think you're going to get it

And then you realize

That while the room is spinning

It's really in your mind

The gypsy girl with all her magic

Buries you alive

And even in a weaker moment

She can rip you all apart

In the gloom of impending doom

You can trust her heart

She's a shadow of the mystery

A warrior of what you believe and

Everytime I try to picture

What it must be like

I ... get a blurry vision

Of time always losing time

And why does it even matter

If the heart inside is fine

It's nothing like I pictured

She changes all the time

All the time

When a hug is not enough

I ... wanna find the hidden passage

To everything she loves

When it gets confusing

I ... only want to touch

Her deepest dreams and everything

That to her, it means so much

The woman hiding within a soul

Trapped by history and I know

The riddle ... can never be solved

Not tonight

She's a shadow of herself

A victim of everybody else and

Everytime I try to picture

What it must be like

I ... get a snowy vision

Of time always losing time

And why does it even matter

If the heart inside is fine

It's nothing like I pictured

She changes all the time

All the time

Everytime I try to picture

What it must be like

I ... get a blurry vision

Of time always losing time

And why does it even matter

If the heart inside is fine

It's nothing like I pictured

She changes all the time

All the time
