Garlands

[Interlude]

[Verse 1]

"The Winged Painter is on uptown," I said

"Will you meet me to go, to go, to go?"

Washington Square, I'm racing there

To get you at noon, oh, the nocturne noon

[Verse 2]

Isabella on the way there stops me

"I can't stay today"

I'm off in flight towards another light, rest, youth

Washington Square, I meet you there and we go

[Pre-Chorus]

And he's on the run, he's on the run

From this walking greeting card

And Chloe's kiss, the wolf pit, the wine harvest

And Phileda's Lesson: we're not his possession

[Chorus]

In Winter, trampled flowers

In Winter, lovers

[Post-Chorus]

Circus, these garlands, the blue pirouette

The marriage, the mimosas, black sun over Paris

These garlands, the little swallow

St. Paul from the window, the half-open window

[Verse 3]

Eve incurs God's displeasure, displeasure

Passion, Odysseus, and Penelope

Ulysses and Penelope

The festival in Hell

[Pre-Chorus]

And he's on the run, he's on the run

From this walking greeting card

And Chloe's kiss, the wolf pit, the wine harvest

And Phileda's Lesson: we're not your possession

[Chorus]

In Winter, lovers

In Winter, flowers, trampled flowers

Lovers, bay of angels

We're lovers

[Post-Chorus]

Circus, these garlands, the blue pirouette

The marriage, the mimosas, black sun over Paris

These garlands, the little swallow

St. Paul from the window, the half-open window

[Outro]

In Winter

The Winged Painter, the Winged Painter

Washington Square, let's go see "A Day In May"

From The Winged Painter
