An Architect's Dream (2018 Remaster)

"If I can lighten the browns and the sand

And rub it right into where the sky's reaching down

So it's... like the edge of a mirror...

But this blue needs to be darker, much darker...

Maybe if I can just blend it a bit...

Yes, that might do it... almost like that"

Watching the painter painting

And all the time, the light is changing

And he keeps painting

That bit there, it was an accident

But he’s so pleased

It’s the best mistake he could make

And it’s my favourite piece

It’s just great

The flick of a wrist

Twisting down to the hips

So the lovers begin, with a kiss

In a tryst

It’s just a smudge

But what it becomes

In his hands:

Curving and sweeping

Rising and reaching

I could feel what he was feeling

(Watching the painter painting)

Lines like these have got to be

An architect’s dream

It’s always the same

Whenever he works on a pavement

(Watching the painter painting)

It starts to rain

And all the time

The light is changing
