The Painter (Who Live in the Cellar) Lyrics
The painter who lives in the cellar
draws his sketched on the granite wall
he lives within a shifting world of colors
painting scenes of winter, spring and fall
and the gloom that settles in the corners
awakens sleeping phantoms in his mind
they're captives in the midnight land of flowers
and the painter sketches scenes while there's still time
he's the painter who lives in the cellar
painting scenes of winter, spring and fall
he's the painter who lives in the cellar
and many things don't matter at all
Well the painter knew a girl named Summer
she lived beyond the kingdom of the wind
and now she is a thing of idle daydreams
sleeping in the shadows of his mind
while a vision fallen faintly in the evening
dabbled with the hues of summer rain
touches on the canvas of his painting
then crumbles like a shattered window pane
he's the painter who lives in the cellar
painting scenes of winter, spring and fall
he's the painter who lives in the cellar
and many things don't matter at all
draws his sketched on the granite wall
he lives within a shifting world of colors
painting scenes of winter, spring and fall
and the gloom that settles in the corners
awakens sleeping phantoms in his mind
they're captives in the midnight land of flowers
and the painter sketches scenes while there's still time
he's the painter who lives in the cellar
painting scenes of winter, spring and fall
he's the painter who lives in the cellar
and many things don't matter at all
she lived beyond the kingdom of the wind
and now she is a thing of idle daydreams
sleeping in the shadows of his mind
while a vision fallen faintly in the evening
dabbled with the hues of summer rain
touches on the canvas of his painting
then crumbles like a shattered window pane
he's the painter who lives in the cellar
painting scenes of winter, spring and fall
he's the painter who lives in the cellar
and many things don't matter at all
