Painting By Chagall Lyrics
Thunder rumbles in the distance, a quiet intensity
I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me
You’re the moon, I’m the water
You’re Mars, calling up Neptune’s daughter
Sometimes rain that’s needed falls
We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall
All around is sky and blue town
Holding these flowers for a wedding gown
We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us.
I am humbled in this city
There seems to be an endless sea of people like us
Wakeful dreamers, I pass them on the sunlit streets
In our rooms filled with laughter
We make hope from every small disaster
Everybody says “you can’t, you can't, you can't, don’t try.”
Still everybody says that if they had the chance they’d fly like we do.
I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me
You’re the moon, I’m the water
You’re Mars, calling up Neptune’s daughter
We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall
All around is sky and blue town
Holding these flowers for a wedding gown
We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us.
There seems to be an endless sea of people like us
Wakeful dreamers, I pass them on the sunlit streets
In our rooms filled with laughter
We make hope from every small disaster
Still everybody says that if they had the chance they’d fly like we do.

this song is amazing. just simply amazing. And it's a song about two people who are in an impossible love. Chagall painted all these beautiful scenes that were his native village, dreams of love, dreams of freedom...and that's what this song is. It's about two people who share a common, impossible dream of being with each other. One of them is named Lexi and just got married to a man she doesn't love, and her favorite Chagall painting is "Eye and The Village". The other one is me, and we are the lovers flying above the clouds in Eye and The Villaqge...our favorite painting together...and an impossible love. I live 3000 miles from her but she still tells me she loves me and sends me this song...and how we'll always have our love live in some ethereal place...That's what this song is about.
The question was: what does this song mean to you? and that's really what it means to me.
this was the song my husband and i danced to at our wedding, almost 3 years ago this july (my goodness how time flies!) thank you deb and steve for writing and sharing your beautiful love and music!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG! AND IM GOING COMMENT HAPPY OVER THE WEEPIES. okay last line seriously--amazing!
I think it's more about a love that people said wouldn't work, but then the lovers go for it and it turns out to be amazing
My favourite song on Say I am You. Marc Chagall was one of the first painters I had any interest in and this song wonderfully reminds me of his Bouquet with Flying Lovers. Except for the satellites!
it makes me think of a couple who just absolutly love each other and any problem that comes at them they get through it together with the hope of thier love! and everybody around them doesnt believe in true love but are soon shown by this couple that its possible!
I think its about two people that are in love but nobody likes them together and they don't care. just the way love should be. ^-^
deb talan is an amazing woman
