lyrics

Bonnard and Marthe

Paris colors spinning
through my brain,
a cotton candy rain
strikes tourmaline puddles.
Finally, a lightness to the breeze,
it flutters violet leaves
shading languid waterlilies.

Oh, the love of it spills me
into pools of honey
and I never knew thrilling,
'til you laid those lips,
laughing, down upon me.

Bonnard's love for
Martha was so fierce,
trumped only by a lust
for oil laid on linen.
Bathing every morning as he drew,
I wonder if she knew
the colors carried music.

Oh, the love of light spills her,
into pulls of lavender
and you'll know what I'm after
by the waves of my laughter.

Paris colors spinning
through my brain,
a cotton candy rain
strikes tourmaline puddles.
Finally, a lightness to the breeze,
it flutters violet leaves...
