Lyrics
the bitter taste of the morning after
the glorious moments of the night
a broken string and no more song
only white pages in the bible
the last ember turned to ashes
a bonfire once built so high
glassless windows and faded papers
the gate is closed and we've lost the key
Chorus:
A painter trying to capture the fleeting sun
Counting the water drops in the river's run
Mending the broken glass after the damage's done
Chasing the shadows of a love that's gone
the dry bed once was a river
a green field burned up in the sun
silent echoes of easy laughter
even fear has come undone
Chorus:
A painter trying to capture the fleeting sun
Counting the water drops in the river's run
Mending the broken glass after the damage's done
Chasing the shadows of a love that's gone
the last train gone
the tracks cleared by the morning drizzle
time table shows no destination
just fade away, just fade away
A painter trying to capture the fleeting sun
Counting the water drops in the river's run
Mending the broken glass after the damage's done
Chasing the shadows of a love that's gone
