Painters

Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by They remind her of her lover, how he left her, and of times long ago.
When she used to color carelessly painted his portrait
A thousand times-or maybe just his smile-
And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go
'Cause I’m a painter and i want to paint you a lovely world
A lovely world.
Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wall
He put water-colored roses in her hair
He said, «Love, I love you, I want to give you mountains, the sunshine,
the sunset too
I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me
'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.
So they sat down and made a drawing of their love, they made it an art to live
by They painted every, passion every home, created every beautiful child
in the winter they were weavers of warmth, in summer they were carpenters of love
They thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow
'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.
Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil
And in her heart she knew something was wrong
