Sunflowers

from Notes from the Ground by Dino Soldo

/

lyrics

a painter alone in Franceno friends of his own
but the postman
he writes Theo
four times a day

asks for money
and for more paint
and wonders if Gauguin will stay

stares at the color wheel again
walks for miles looks at everything
crashing out in the heat and rain
villagers think he's insane

his Sunflower dreams

lives every day on coffee and bread
paint on his clothes, smoking in bed
awake for three dawns
sleep for 10 hours
and when he dreams
he dreams of sunflowers

He reads in the Summer time
and Loves to read Madame Butterfly
Last Act she dances with a knife
do black crows invade starry nights

just a Sunflower dream
pair up his world like lovers do
emerald on red, lemon on blue
awake for three dawns
sleep for 10 hours
and when he dreams
he dreams of sunflowers
