The Painter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The painter stood before her work
She looked around everywhere
She saw the pictures and she painted them
She picked the colors from the air
[Verse 2]
Green to green, red to red
Yellow to yellow in the light
Black to black when the evening comes
Blue to blue in the night
[Chorus]
It's a long road behind me
It's a long road ahead
If you follow every dream, you might get lost
If you follow every dream, you might get lost
[Verse 3]
She towed the line, she held her end up
She did the work of two men
But in the end, she fell down
Before she got up again
[Verse 4]
I keep my friends eternally
We leave our tracks in the sound
Some of them are with me now
Some of them can't be found
[Chorus]
It's a long road behind me
And I miss you now
If you follow every dream, you might get lost
If you follow every dream, you might get lost
[Verse 2]
Green to green, red to red
Yellow to yellow in the light
Black to black when the evening comes
Blue to blue through the night
