lyrics

Come brown and blue,
Green and orange, wet and new
Slim is the veil that covers you
Draw near to me, you said
And I'll draw near to you
Paintbrush covered in loving oil
Form my thoughts
I'm ready for this change
Bright and bold, fresh and vivid day
Dripping green night
All is mine to say
Take my skill, my anxious hand
And let it pray
All is my mistake, all yours to remake
But today is the day
You make all things new
Sink in the mud
Track the words across the rug
Hand on the plow and don't look back
Aching pen, my brain is wood again
Walls close in to rail against the page
Music never rests
A steady stream of rain
Find the sounds, nail them down
And let them play
All is worn and trite, is this worth the fight?
Still today is the day
You make all things new
