Jewel lyrics Painters lyrics 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 they were painters and they were painting themselves 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 want to give you everything 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, 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 She went running through the orchard screaming, 'No God, don't take him from me!,' But buy the time she got there, she feared he already had gone She got to where he lay, water-colored roses in his hands for her She threw them down screaming, 'Damn you man, don't leave me with nothing left behind but these cold paintings, these cold portraits to remind me! He said, 'Love I leave, but only a little, try to understand I put my soul in this life we created with these four hands Love, I leave, but only a little this world holds me still My body may die now, but these paintings are real.' So many seasons came and many seasons went and many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers, talking tot he trees and singing to his children And when the wind blew, she knew he was listening, and how he seamed to laugh along, and how he seemed to hold her when she was crying 'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves A lovely world. 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 Yes, she and her canvas still follow Because they are painters and they are painting themselves A lovely world Other Jewel lyrics: Who Will Save Your Soul lyrics Pieces Of You lyrics Little Sister lyrics Foolish Games lyrics Near You Always lyrics Morning Song lyrics Adrian lyrics I'm Sensitive lyrics You Were Meant For Me lyrics Don't lyrics Daddy lyrics Angel Standing By lyrics Amen lyrics Deep Water lyrics What's Simple Is True lyrics Hands lyrics Kiss The Flame lyrics Down So Long lyrics Innocence Maintained lyrics Jupiter lyrics Fat Boy lyrics Enter From The East lyrics Barcelona lyrics Life Uncommon lyrics Do You lyrics Absence Of Fear lyrics The Little Bird lyrics O Holy Night lyrics Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer lyrics Standing Still lyrics Jesus Loves You lyrics Everybody Needs Someone Sometime lyrics Break Me lyrics Do You Want To Play? lyrics Till We Run Out Of Road lyrics Serve The Ego lyrics This Way lyrics Cleveland lyrics I Won't Walk Away lyrics Love Me Just Leave Me Alone lyrics The New Wild West lyrics Grey Matter lyrics Sometimes It Be That Way lyrics Sweet Home Alabama lyrics Hands (Christmas Version) lyrics Gloria lyrics I Wonder As I Wander lyrics Medley lyrics Face Of Love lyrics Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer lyrics Hark!
