From the recording Lookin' In from the Outside
Lyrics
Watercolor
(E.J. Geel)
Watercolor, watercolor
Paint the garden from the bridge
It's a lovely spring day
A touch of carmine for the hue
Of swiftly moving clouds across the sky
A brush can capture a cloud
A brilliant idea, a breathtaking sunset
Where did I fail?
As a mother and a friend
What happened to the rose
That burst from my hand
There among the trees
I keep seeing her face with that
Touch of sadness
Love wasn't enough
To make her feel
Warm and protected
She left me here
Sketching and erasing
Sketching and erasing
Looking for a way to balance
Highlights and shadows
Looking for a way to find sweet harmony
Watercolor, watercolor
Produce through my hand
That state of comfort
God, provide me
With insight instead of rage
Calm, as calm as the sea
Before the storm
That's what I'll be
I'll hold on to my brush
Sketching and erasing
Sketching and erasing
Looking for a way to balance
Highlights and shadows
Looking for a way to find sweet harmony
Calm, as calm as the sea
Before the storm
That’s what I’ll be
I’ll hold on to my brush…
