Pictures on my wall Fifteen different colors Starting with vermilion The first flower of the summer And don't think I'll be finished Till I've begun to understand this
With you stretched out in the sunlight As your laughter fills my canvas The sun falls in my fingers On your back against the blinds It's tracing out your hollows It is filling in your lines
There your curl finds your spiral As you silhouette the window When my brush forgives itself Spills lines upon your pillow Finds you standing in the middle Of the lines you've laid down before Try to trace my picture into yours
Let me paint you in the corner As your shoulders trap the light See the sunset feeling golden On the wine skins of the night
I have seen your eyes in paintings As Cathedrals cried Hosanna Let me paint your face in frescoes Hang your hair like Angelabra See you standing in the middle Of lines you laid down before Try to paint my picture into yours
In the morning let me find you As I call to you by name Your body warm beside me Not imprisoned in a frame
I could never find the colors Or the light that finely paints you With those roses in your hair Smell of wine, immortal perfume As you're standing in the middle Of lines you laid down before Tryin' to paint my picture into yoursTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
