Aeone - Portrait Of A Dream Lyrics
Safe within my ivory towerI contemplate the Manhattan skyline(can't see the woods for the trees)I watch the people way belowMoving in some other sort of lifetime...And buildings that stand grey and tallLook in through my windowBut I want to see a patch of green...I'll picture this upon a screenAnd paint the grassA thousand shades of summer(oh, in a portrait of a dream)I'll picture this in magazinesA photograph of fields in different colours(oh, in a portrait of a dream)Clouds are forming overheadAnd rain falls in a testament of silence(feels like an omen to me)Above the city's concrete wallsThe sun shines through and silhouettes the sidewalks...And there beneath the gleaming spiresSmall, yet so familiarI see a perfect patch of green...I'll picture this upon a screenAnd paint the grassA thousand shades of summer(oh, in a portrait of a dream)I'll picture this in magazinesA photograph of fields in different colours(oh, in a portrait of a dream)And every morning I will see out of my windowAn illustration to my soul(it won't fade away)And in my hear I'll keep the memoryLike a photoThat's all I ever need to know...Let the image come to meOf nature's resurrectionAnd focus on a patch of green...I'll picture this upon a screenAnd paint the grassA thousand shades of summer(oh, in a portrait of a dream)I'll picture this in magazinesA photograph of fields in different colours(oh, in a portrait of a dream)
