In favour of emergent trees
That twist the breeze and turn the leaves
Permissive of refurbished gleam
Our eyes wide open learn to dream

Paint that lost Picasso
Paint that lost Picasso
Paint that lost Picasso
In the skies

Paint that lost Picasso
Paint that lost Picasso
Paint that lost Picasso
In the skies
(Dine divinely)

Close your eyes
Forget your name
The tears that stain
Your window pane
The fear that grips
Your brazen heart
The years of pain
That frame your art
Forgo the grief
Beneath the veil
And breathe belief
Into the mast
Set sail across
Uncharted seas
To Eden
Seen
At last

Paint that lost Picasso
Paint that lost Picasso
Paint that lost Picasso
In the skies

Paint that lost Picasso

To Eden
Seen
To Eden
Seen
At last

Release the burden
Certain to incur eclipse
And lift the curtain
Take a bow
Affix the crown
Attune your frown
To swift reversion
Close your eyes
Forget your name
For time and space elate diversion
Cater for all tastes and or perversions
Even when it feels that not a soul can see you hurting
Blindness unreservedly builds faith

In favour of emergent trees
That twist the breeze and turn the leaves
Permissive of refurbished gleam
Our eyes wide open learn to dream

Paint that lost Picasso
Paint that lost Picasso
Paint that lost Picasso
In the skies

Paint that lost Picasso
Paint that lost Picasso
Paint that lost Picasso

Fall with grace
Through sprawl of maze
With ordinance of brave
Ride the stallion
Take the reins
And guide it to a native place
Pastures of ungated graze
Cascading light
Awaken shade
Revive an ancient serenade
Run naked through the everglades

Bleed when required
To appease the heaped pyre
In the heat of its fire
Smile politely
As lips become ashen
Impassion your stride
Ride the rapturous tides of what might be

Alight be the flame
In the shade of thine eyes
See this opulent blaze dine divinely
Slow heel to toe
In repose of even flow
Feel the sand between your toes
As you proceed
Caress each blessèd streamlet
Learn the sequence of the seas
For they only pose one secret left to keep
Wade deep
In shallow waters
As their course is keenly altered
To the hallowed halls of aeons in reprise
Take a box of crayons
Every shade and hue afforded
And go

Paint that lost Picasso

Paint that lost Picasso
