georgia mooney - winter island - acoustic lyrics

[verse]
“can i paint you?” late one night
three afternoons in fading light
never met a purer heart
one so entirely formed on art

your world is under an attack
so you are bringing fresco back
slowly brush progressed to touch
and fingers traced along every shape

[chorus]
the painter from thessaloniki
cut the eyes from the mask of me
for both a muse we’re finding
on the winter island

[verse]
shadowed face and rolling vowel
the bar contained a whispered vow
what will wе do today?
i know a place the romans lay

tongue in cheek and hеart in hand
try not to mock the earnest man
walk a winding forest road
there’s something in the air i’m told
[chorus]
the painter from thessaloniki
cut the eyes from the mask of me
for both a muse we’re finding
on the winter island

[verse]
the walls were painted just as white
as clouds above that grecian isle
you said i was lady ulysses
and twisted grass around our fingers

[bridge]
we rang the bell but didn’t tell
of the wedding in the church that day
the next day i would sail away

[chorus]
the painter from thessaloniki
cut the eyes from the mask of me
for both a muse we’re finding
on the winter island
