Paintbox

>'>http://

Today I just wanted a rest from my work...So having walked down into town and bought a couple of books i've been meaning to read ('The Road' by Cormac McCarthy and 'The Witch of Portobello' by Paulo Coehlo) I thought it's time to sit back and enjoy some good sounds. Regular readers will know what that means!!...yes, an eight minute song.This time by Pendragon...it's taken from the album 'The Masquerade Overture' and is called appropriately enough: 'Paintbox'Here are the lyrics.....enjoy.

Painting pictures of a thousand different paths

We sketch an outline of a love that hopes to last

Casting a wand over imaginary hopes

And close our eyes so we don't fell the ebb and flow

And paintbox you are my only hope

Of covering the faded past and starting out once more

With a fortune in new colours new hopes to inspire

I paint the path I want to take and paint a life of fire

Marking out our lives full of different plans

Excitedly we hold the key to change our hearts and hands

We climb the hill to see if green fields lie beyond

Only to realise they've faded now and gone

And paintbox you are my only hope

Of covering the faded past and starting out once more

With a fortune in new colours new hopes to inspire

I paint the path I want to take and paint a life of fire

Painting pictures of a thousand different paths

We sketch an outline of a love that hopes to last

Casting a wand over imaginary hopes

And close our eyes so we don't fell the ebb and flow

And paintbox you are my only hope

Of covering the faded past and starting out once more

With a fortune in new colours new hopes to inspire

I paint the path I want to take and paint a life of fire
