"Water Color Canvas" lyrics

Water Color Canvas

Married in the darkness
On the evening of the morning
We first met
Laughing, joking
Loving, smoking
Honey, I can taste you yet

Traffic making music
While the limbs of longing
Gently intertwine
These are pastel pieces
Of the pretty pictures painted
On the water color canvas of my mind

Sleeping in the hallway
While we waited
For the Super to arrive
Frying pan for coffee
Cause the only pot we had
Would not oblige

Laughing at the laundry
That was burning while inside
The oven drying
These are pastel pieces
Of the pretty pictures painted
On the water color canvas of my mind

An afternoon in Big Sur
On the way from San Francisco to LA
A brief and fleeting vision
Of the hallowed halls of Heaven
What a day

Conversation dancing
To the music of the ocean
Keeping time
These are pastel pieces
Of the pretty pictures painted
On the water color canvas of my mind

Laying low in London
Living like the Lord
Of Chester Square
Off the wall withdrawal
With a modern Boticelli lady faire

A Susie's column reject
Cause we ate
While all the others dined
These are pastel pieces
Of the pretty pictures painted
On the water color canvas of my mind

These are pastel pieces
Of the pretty pictures painted
On the water color canvas of my mind

These are pastel pieces
Of the pretty pictures painted
On the water color canvas of my mind
