[00:00.00]Painters - Jewel (珠儿)
[00:10.91]Eighty years an old lady now sitting on the front porch
[00:17.52]Watching the clouds roll by
[00:19.09]They remind her of her lover how he left her and of times long ago
[00:27.40]When she used to color carelessly painted his portrait
[00:32.34]A thousand times-or maybe just his smile-
[00:38.22]And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go
[00:45.04]'Cause I'm a painter and i want to paint you a lovely world
[00:51.73]A lovely world
[01:03.13]Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wall
[01:10.64]He put water-colored roses in her hair
[01:14.57]He said"Love I love you I want to give you mountains the sunshine the sunset too
[01:26.29]I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me
[01:35.37]'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
[01:41.17]A lovely world
[01:50.76]So they sat down and made a drawing of their love they made it an art to live by
[01:58.91]They painted every passion every home created every beautiful child
[02:07.20]In the winter they were weavers of warmth in summer they were carpenters of love
[02:14.18]They thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow
[02:21.32]'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
[02:24.89]A lovely world
[02:38.15]Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil
[02:44.00]And in her heart she knew something was wrong
[02:49.84]She went running through the orchard screaming
[02:53.61]'No God don't take him from me '
[02:57.95]But buy the time she got there she feared he already had gone
[03:09.76]She got to where he lay water-colored roses in his hands for her
[03:21.14]She threw them down screaming 'Damn you man don't leave me
[03:25.58]With nothing left behind but these cold paintings these cold portraits to remind me
[03:41.89]He said 'Love I leave but only a little try to understand
[03:54.07]I put my soul in this life we created with these four hands
[04:04.35]Love I leave but only a little this world holds me still
[04:13.07]My body may die now but these paintings are real '
[04:40.41]So many seasons came and many seasons went
[04:44.64]And many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers
[04:50.43]Talking to the trees and singing to his children
[04:56.57]And when the wind blew she knew he was listening
[05:00.76]And how he seamed to laugh along and how he seemed to hold her
[05:06.40]When she was crying
[05:10.29]'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
[05:13.92]A lovely world
[05:28.12]Eighty years an old lady now sitting on the front porch
[05:34.14]Watching the clouds roll by they remind her of her lover
[05:38.31]How he left her and of times long ago when she used to color carelessly
[05:46.20]Painted his portrait a thousand times or maybe just his smile
[05:54.83]And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go
[05:59.95]Yes she and her canvas still follow
[06:06.89]Because they are painters and they are painting themselves
[06:10.54]A lovely world
