The Painter

[Verse 1] Pass the open window Slowly the count the days Slip through a doorway Out to the clear blue space [Chorus 1] Fix your eyes on the horizon Walk along, dig your heels in the ground Hang here until the work gets done Pack it in when it all runs out Roll it on, you can see it change Speak in colors that call your name [Verse 2] Into the future Three years from the day Gone missing in the morning With them you’ll always stay [Chorus 2] Throughout it all the tale has grown Build it out of glass and stone Sometime you say you’ll paint these walls Just when you thought you’ll mend it all When you roll it on You can see it change Speak in colors that call your name [Bridge] Search in thе distance Slowly count the days Back herе tomorrow With them you’ll always say [Verse 3] Pass the open window Slowly the count the days Slipped through a doorway Out to the clear blue space
