[00:10.107] Eighty years, an old lady now
[00:15.112] Sitting on the front porch
[00:17.751] Watching the clouds roll by
[00:18.994] They remind her of her lover,
[00:21.724] How he left her of times long ago
[00:27.694] When she used to color carelessly painted his portrait a thousand times
[00:34.429] Or maybe just his smile
[00:38.542] Her and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go
[00:45.056] 'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
[00:49.014] A lovely world
[00:58.664]
[01:03.247] Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wall
[01:10.684] He put water-colored roses in her hair
[01:14.904] He said, 'Love, I love you
[01:17.896] I want to give you the mountains, the sunshine, the sunset too
[01:26.381] I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me
[01:35.541] Cause I'm a painter and i want to paint you
[01:40.261] A lovely world'
[01:45.741]
[01:50.866] So they sat down and made a drawing of their love
[01:55.766] They made it an art to live by
[01:59.034] They painted every passion, every home, created every beautiful child
[02:07.152] In the winter they were weavers of warmth
[02:11.018] In summer they were carpenters of love
[02:14.268] They thought blue prints were too sad
[02:17.699] So they made them yellow
[02:21.295] They were painters and they were painting themselves
[02:25.407] A lovely world
[02:32.842]
[02:38.258] Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil
[02:45.089] And in her heart she knew something was wrong
[02:49.845] She went running through the orchard screaming,
[02:53.772] 'No God, don't take him from me!'
[02:58.136] By the time she got there
[03:00.378] She feared he already had gone
[03:09.566] She got to where he lay, water-colored roses in his hands for her
[03:21.340] She threw them down screaming, 'Damn you man, don't leave me
[03:26.000] With nothing left behind but these cold paintings, these cold portraits
[03:32.012] To remind me
[03:39.394]
[03:41.945] He said,
[03:44.331] 'Love I only leave a little, try to understand
[03:53.964] I put my soul in this life we've created with these four hands
[04:04.135] Love, I leave, but only a little this world holds me still
[04:13.665] My body may die now, but these paintings are real.'
[04:24.092]
[04:40.361] So many seasons came and many seasons went and many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers
[04:50.571] Talking to the trees and singing to his children
[04:56.945] And when the wind blew, she knew he was listening 'nd how he seamed to laugh along
[05:04.198] How he seemed to hold her when she was crying
[05:10.404] 'Cause they were painters and they have painted themselves
[05:14.307] A lovely world
[05:21.943]
[05:27.982] Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
[05:34.254] Watching the clouds roll by
[05:35.583] They remind her of her lover
[05:38.454] How he left her and of times long ago
[05:43.781] When she used to color carelessly
[05:46.435] Painted his portrait a thousand times
[05:50.583] Or maybe just his smile
[05:54.995] Her and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go
[05:59.759] Yes, her and her canvas still follow
[06:07.034] 'Cause they are painters and they are painting themselves
[06:10.606] A lovely
[06:13.939] 'Cause they are painters and they are painting themselves
[06:17.680] A lovely world
