Song The Painter
Artist Paul Anka
Album The Painter

Lyrics

[00:18.88] The painter paints away the day
[00:23.27] As he paints his life away
[00:27.64] Will he rise in judgement's eyes or fall
[00:34.60] What a humble life he lives
[00:40.52] He never sees the price they give
[00:45.62] Another part of his soul upon a wall
[00:54.52] Like a lonely soldier faces
[00:59.14] Foreign shores and empty spaces
[01:03.37] Such as he-who strokes to free his soul
[01:12.45] Isolation steeped in sadness
[01:16.50] Mellowed by the fears of madness
[01:21.10] There he stands as he commands control
[01:30.37] Deeper than the eye can see
[01:34.56] Another man's philosophy
[01:39.8] While he lives the price they give is small
[02:04.92] Like a lonely soldier faces
[02:08.84] Foreign shores and empty spaces
[02:13.70] Such as he-who strokes to free his soul
[02:22.34] Isolation steeped in sadness
[02:26.23] Mellowed by the fears of madness
[02:30.83] There he stands as he commands control
[02:37.41] When he dies and on that day
[02:43.42] The sky's as high a price they'll pay
[02:47.81] While he lives the price they give is small
