lyrics

When the morning of your eyes
Comes waking through my shadows
Leaving just a trace of twilight sleep,
I whisper to the baby raindrops
Playing on my window,
And tell them gently this is not
The time that they should weep.

Chorus:
For somewhere in my mind there is a painting box,
I have every color there it's true.
Just lately when I look inside my painting box,
I seem to pick the colors of you.

My Friday evening's foot-steps plodding
Dully through this black town,
Are far away now from the world that I'm in.
My eyes are listening to some sounds
That I think just might be springtime,
With daffodils between my toes
I'm laughing at their whim,

Chorus

The purple sail above me catches
All the strength of summer.
Fishes stop and ask me where I am bound.
I smile and shake my head and say
My little ship is sinking,
But I kind of like the sea that I'm on,
And I don't mind if I do drown.

Chorus
