The Painter Songtext
von Steve Gunn

Past the open window
Slowly count the days
Slip through a doorway
Out to the clear blue space

Fix your eyes on the horizon
Walk along, dig your heels in the ground
Hang here ′til the work gets done
Pack it in when it all runs off

When you roll it off, you can see it change
And speak in codes that call your name


Into the future
Three years from the day
Gone missing in the morning
With them, you'll always stay

Throughout it all, a tale has grown
Build it out of glass and stone
Sometimes, you say you paint these walls
Just when you thought you′d mend it all

When you roll it off, you can see it change
And speak in codes that call your name

Searching the distance
Slowly count the days
Back here 'til tomorrow
With them, you'll always stay


Past the open window
Slowly count the days
Slip through a doorway
Out to the clear blue space
