Watercolor

She paints watercolor landscapes
She mixes water, paint, and time
And she lets go of the heartaches
And all that clutters up her mind
From the pigments on her palette
She marries colors that she feels
Tries to see the world around her
From what her brush reveals

She likes shadows on the water
Colors drifting through the fodder
And while she sketches birds of prey
Lets her thoughts just fly away
She paints watercolor landscapes
‘Cause it makes her feel alive

She paints watercolor still life
‘Cause precious moments pass her by
She cant stop the pain from coming
And she finds peace in her mind’s eye

She likes shattered glass and flowers
And she lets go of the hours
That might otherwise have found her
In the dark cloud that surrounds her
She paints watercolor still life
‘Cause it makes her feel alive

Oh it makes her feel
Makes her feel
Makes her feel…

From her watercolor brushstrokes
Across the parchment in her mind
She retraces all her great hopes
And wonders where she’ll find
That broken fence along the river
A bright moon but just a sliver
An empty ranch house cold and grey
A mustang galloping away
She paints watercolor landscapes
‘Cause it makes her feel alive
Yeah it makes her feel alive
Oh it makes her feel alive
