THE WEEPIES LYRICS - Painting by Chagall

"Painting by Chagall"



Thunder rumbles in the distance, a quiet intensity

I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me

You're the moon, I'm the water

You're Mars, calling up Neptune's daughter



Sometimes rain that's needed falls

We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall

All around is sky and blue town

Holding these flowers for a wedding gown

We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us.



I am humbled in this city

There seems to be an endless sea of people like us

Wakeful dreamers, I pass them on the sunlit streets

In our rooms filled with laughter

We make hope from every small disaster



Everybody says "you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try."

Still everybody says that if they had the chance they'd fly like we do.
