jake heggie - a picture lyrics

Loading...

i would not paint — a picture —
i’d rather be the one
it’s bright impossibility
to dwell — delicious — on —
and wonder how the fingers feel
whose rare — celestial — stir —
evokes so sweet a torment —
such sumptuous — despair —

i would not talk, like cornets —
i’d rather be the one
raised softly to the ceilings —
and out, and easy on —
through villages of ether —
myself endued balloon
by but a lip of metal —
the pier to my pontoon —

nor would i be a poet —
it’s finer — own the ear —
enamored — impotent — content —
the license to revere
a privilege so awful
what would the dower be
had i the art to stun myself
with bolts — of melody!
