Lyrics
The Artist
The artist sees the world in shades of gray
painting what she sees every day
skies and lakes and rivers, we will try to forgive her
if blues and reds say all she has to say
she holds on to the images she needs
savoring the rich life she leads
days of love and gladness and never-ending sadness
separate the flowers from the weeds
the artist can be the strongest, bravest and the wisest of us all
she frames our hopes and fears in reflections in the mirror on the wall
but it's beautiful to me, the things she lets us see
through her painted pictures in the hall
oh
would we have as pretty of a view
if she were the same as me and you
would we share her visions, or laugh at her decisions
if the artist never knew what she could do?
the artist can be the strongest, bravest and the wisest of us all
she frames our hopes and fears in reflections in the mirror on the wall
but it's beautiful to me, the things she lets us see
through her painted pictures in the hall
but it's beautiful to me, the things she lets us see
through her painted pictures in the hall
oh
The artist sees the world in shades of gray
painting what she sees every day
skies and lakes and rivers, we will try to forgive her
if blues and reds say all she has to say
