Lyrics
If I can lighten the browns in the sand
And rub it right into where the sky's reaching down
So it's like the edge of a mirror
But this blue needs to be darker, much darker
Maybe if I can just blend it a bit
Yes, that might do it
Almost like that
Watching the painter painting
And all the time the light is changing
And he keeps painting
That bit there, it was an accident
But he's so pleased
It's the best mistake he could make
And it's my favourite piece
It's just great
The flick of a wrist
Twisting down to the hips
So the lovers begin, with a kiss
In a tryst
Just a smudge
But what it becomes
In his hands
Curving and sweeping
Rising and reaching
I could feel what he was feeling (watching the painter painting)
Lines like these have got to be
An architect's dream
It's always the same
Whenever he works on a pavement
(Watching the painter painting)
It starts to rain
And all the time the light is changing
