about

From our 4th CD Alabaster, released on the French fairy-world label Prikosnovénie in 2002, this song is dedicated to Karan Wicks, an Australian Creative Expressionist, who painted the cover art of our previous two CDs Alexandria (Australian & American editions) & Ariel.

‘The harvest of bliss or woe will be according to the seed-time of this life.’
(Bathsua Makin)

lyrics

Paint the moon, paint your room
Paint the inside of you -
Paint your hair, paint your words
and the Memory of birds
Paint the light, paint the sky
and your wild, wild eyes!
Paint the wind, paint the shadows of your candelabra.
 
And if…
- they pack you in boxes you’ll paint off the lid!
- they shut you in darkness you’ll paint your way out!
- you find yourself falling you’ll catch yourself
somewhere down low, near the rainbow
where your brushes are starting to grow.
 
Paint your night on the rain
Paint your flight from pain -
Paint the Sun and the Moon
and then tear them apart once again.
Paint your heart on your tomb
Sing it red and blue,
Paint your Fall, paint it all
on your crumbling walls -
Oh! Colour the stones where they fall!

Paint the wind, sing the wing
Paint your time of Spring… paint your Time…
