Betty Lyrics

[00:21.569]	Betty, you lived your life as an artist;
[00:29.479]	Do you remember
[00:31.864]	Showing me
[00:33.336]	Where sky meets lake?
[00:40.720]	Watching you watch the light fade
[00:48.046]	I knew we felt the same ache:
[00:58.993]	To see the through the mystery
[01:08.219]	Or maybe just get some insides out
[01:17.562]	You never pictured you'd live to watch
[01:24.724]	Your own body giving up
[01:33.742]	Your hands shake too much to paint;
[01:45.114]	Alone at 93, all thoughts and memories
[01:55.018]	Know that I found love
[02:03.656]	She’s an artist too;
[02:12.849]	She faces the world openly
[02:21.279]	Shining through
[02:24.730]	Just like you
[03:12.813]	“Well just to do it, not to be recognized so much as just to get it out of my system. You spend a certain amount of time doing it, and it's satisfying, but I'm not a true artist.”
[03:27.048]	“I dunno mom, you’re a pretty prolific painter, you painted an awful lot of paintings in your life--”
[03:31.016]	“--I was at one time.”
[03:31.761]	“--Thousands.”
[03:32.839]	“At one time.”
[03:33.790]	“Over the course of your life I'm saying there were thousands of paintings you know, probably.”
[03:37.975]	“Well I had children to raise.”
[03:39.784]	“Had you not had children, you might have had a whole different course in that regard.”
[03:43.208]	“Maybe.”
[03:48.102]	“It was a dream but I dreamt it was real.”
[03:54.729]	You are and you're right here
[04:03.586]	For a moment it's bright here

[00:21.569]	Betty, you lived your life as an artist
