Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The painter stood before her work
She looked around everywhere
She saw the pictures and she painted them
She picked the colors from the air
Green to green, red to red
Yellow to yellow in the light
Black to black when the evening comes
Blue to blue in the night
[Verse 2]
It's a long road
Behind me
It's a long road
Ahead
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
[Verse 3]
She towed the line, she held her end up
She did the work of two men
But in the end, she fell down
Before she got up again
I keep my friends eternally
We leave our tracks in the sound
Some of them are with me now
Some of them can't be found
[Verse 4]
It's a long road
Behind me
And I miss you now
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
[Verse 5]
Green to green, red to red
Yellow to yellow in the light
Black to black when the evening comes
Blue to blue through the night
