lyrics

If I wanted to paint your picture
What colours would I use
Yellow for your hair
Cream for your skin
And something for the blues

A splash a dash of
Passion dark and
Deep down in the base
A source of light from somewhere
Inside highlighting your face

How do you paint the rain

One eye looking dead ahead
A South Pacific blue
The other one looking in another world
The one where I met you

A small tune playing
On the pink of your lips
And a stroke of brown on your brow
The furrowed attention
On your forehead
When you think no one’s around

This is a job for Braque or Picasso
I’m in way over my head

Merlin Ball draws on many musical atmospheres to create a singular space and mood. Net result: indie-driven stuff that blazes along under sombre skies and brilliant sunrises. How do you talk to someone 10,000 years away? This is Merlin Ball's attempt.
