Painting Box

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.
For somewhere in my mind there is a painting box,
I have every color there its true.
Just lately when I look inside my painting box,
I seem to pick the colors of you.
My Friday evenings foot-steps plodding dully through this black town,
Are far away now from the world that Im in.
My eyes are listening to some sounds that I think just might be springtime ,
With daffodils between my toes Im laughing at their whim,
And somewhere in my mind there is a painting box,
I have every color there its true,
Just lately when I look inside my painting box,
I seem to pick the colors of you.
Oh somewhere in my mind there is a painting box,
I have every color there its true.
Just lately when I look inside my painting box,
I seem to pick the colors of you.
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 Im on, and I dont mind if I do drown.
For somewhere in my mind there is a painting box,
I have every color there its true.
Just lately when I look inside my painting box,
I seem to pick the colors of you.
