[02:58.136] By the time she got there [03:00.378] She feared he already had gone [03:09.566] She got to where he lay, water-colored roses in his hands for her [03:21.340] She threw them down screaming, 'Damn you man, don't leave me [03:26.000] With nothing left behind but these cold paintings, these cold portraits [03:32.012] To remind me [03:39.394] [03:41.945] He said, [03:44.331] 'Love I only leave a little, try to understand [03:53.964] I put my soul in this life we've created with these four hands [04:04.135] Love, I leave, but only a little this world holds me still [04:13.665] My body may die now, but these paintings are real.' [04:24.092] [04:40.361] So many seasons came and many seasons went and many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers [04:50.571] Talking to the trees and singing to his children [04:56.945] And when the wind blew, she knew he was listening 'nd how he seamed to laugh along [05:04.198] How he seemed to hold her when she was crying [05:10.404] 'Cause they were painters and they have painted themselves [05:14.307] A lovely world [05:21.943] [05:27.982] Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch [05:34.254] Watching the clouds roll by [05:35.583] They remind her of her lover [05:38.454] How he left her and of times long ago [05:43.781] When she used to color carelessly [05:46.435] Painted his portrait a thousand times [05:50.583] Or maybe just his smile [05:54.995] Her and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go [05:59.759] Yes, her and her canvas still follow [06:07.034] 'Cause they are painters and they are painting themselves [06:10.606] A lovely [06:13.939] 'Cause they are painters and they are painting themselves [06:17.680] A lovely world
