The Incredible String Band - Painting Box lyrics

[The Incredible String Band - Painting Box lyrics]

When the morning of your eyes
Comes waking through my shadows
Leaving just a trace of twilight sleep
I whisper to the baby raindrops
Playing on my window
And tell them gently this is not
The time that they should weep

For somewhere in my mind there
Is a painting box
I have every color there it's true
Just lately when I look
Inside my painting box
I seem to pick the colors of you

My Friday evening's foot-steps plodding dully
Through this black town
Are far away now from the world that I'm in
My eyes are listening to some sounds that
I think just might be springtime
With daffodils between my toes I'm


Laughing at their whim

And somewhere in my mind there
Is a painting box
I have every color there it's true
Just lately when I look
Inside my painting box
I seem to pick the colors of you

Oh somewhere in my mind there
Is a painting box
I have every color there it's true
Just lately when I look
Inside my painting box
I seem to pick the colors of you

The purple sail above me catches
All the strength of summer
Fishes stop and ask me where I am bound
I smile and shake my head and
Say my little ship is sinking
But I kind of like the sea that I'm on
And I don't mind if I do drown

For somewhere in my mind there
Is a painting box
I have every color there it's true
Just lately when I look
Inside my painting box
I seem to pick the colors of you
