Lyrics
You were in the back room
painting by candle light
those colors that you combined
showed a face that I knew words couldn't define
With you right in the foreground
a painting of a bust
of someone I used to know
whose vibrant colors faded to dull
But today paint me something great
something to remember me by when I'm away
but if you must, make my mural in the dust
so the eastern wind can carry me to peace
Out there in the ether
just notes on empty page
with staff-lines paving the way
rhythms flow as the canvas
the tones are the paint
You were in the background
of a song I never heard
I wondered how it would sound
tried to play but i just couldn't figure it out
But today
I'll play you something great
something to remember me by when I'm away
but if you must dedicate that movement to the dust
so the eastern wind can carry me to peace
