《Painters》歌词

[00:00:00] Painters (画家) - Jewel (珠儿)

[00:00:10] Eighty years an old lady now sitting on the front porch

[00:00:17] Watching the clouds roll by

[00:00:19] They remind her of her lover how he left her and of times long ago

[00:00:27] When she used to color carelessly painted his portrait

[00:00:32] A thousand times-or maybe just his smile-

[00:00:38] And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go

[00:00:45] 'Cause I'm a painter and i want to paint you a lovely world

[00:00:51] A lovely world

[00:01:03] Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wall

[00:01:10] He put water-colored roses in her hair

[00:01:14] He said "Love I love you I want to give you mountains the sunshine the sunset too

[00:01:26] I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me

[00:01:35] 'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves

[00:01:41] A lovely world

[00:01:50] So they sat down and made a drawing of their love they made it an art to live by

[00:01:58] They painted every passion every home created every beautiful child

[00:02:07] In the winter they were weavers of warmth in summer they were carpenters of love

[00:02:14] They thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow

[00:02:21] 'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves

[00:02:24] A lovely world

[00:02:38] Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil

[00:02:44] And in her heart she knew something was wrong

[00:02:49] She went running through the orchard screaming

[00:02:53] 'No God don't take him from me '

[00:02:57] But buy the time she got there she feared he already had gone

[00:03:09] She got to where he lay water-colored roses in his hands for her

[00:03:21] She threw them down screaming 'Damn you man don't leave me

[00:03:25] With nothing left behind but these cold paintings these cold portraits to remind me

[00:03:41] He said 'Love I leave but only a little try to understand

[00:03:54] I put my soul in this life we created with these four hands

[00:04:04] Love I leave but only a little this world holds me still

[00:04:13] My body may die now but these paintings are real '

[00:04:40] So many seasons came and many seasons went

[00:04:44] And many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers

[00:04:50] Talking to the trees and singing to his children

[00:04:56] And when the wind blew she knew he was listening

[00:05:00] And how he seamed to laugh along and how he seemed to hold her

[00:05:06] When she was crying

[00:05:10] 'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves

[00:05:13] A lovely world

[00:05:28] Eighty years an old lady now sitting on the front porch

[00:05:34] Watching the clouds roll by they remind her of her lover

[00:05:38] How he left her and of times long ago when she used to color carelessly

[00:05:46] Painted his portrait a thousand times or maybe just his smile

[00:05:54] And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go

[00:05:59] Yes she and her canvas still follow

[00:06:06] Because they are painters and they are painting themselves

[00:06:10] A lovely world
