Portrait Of A Dream 歌词

Safe within my ivory tower I contemplate the Manhattan skyline can't see the woods for the trees I watch the people way below Moving in some other sort of lifetime... And buildings that stand grey and tall Look in through my window But I want to see a patch of green... I'll picture this upon a screen And paint the grass A thousand shades of summer oh, in a portrait of a dream I'll picture this in magazines A photograph of fields in different colours oh, in a portrait of a dream Clouds are forming overhead And rain falls in a testament of silence feels like an omen to me Above the city's concrete walls The sun shines through and silhouettes the sidewalks... And there beneath the gleaming spires Small, yet so familiar I see a perfect patch of green... I'll picture this upon a screen And paint the grass A thousand shades of summer oh, in a portrait of a dream I'll picture this in magazines A photograph of fields in different colours oh, in a portrait of a dream And every morning I will see out of my window An illustration to my soul it won't fade away And in my hear I'll keep the memory Like a photo That's all I ever need to know... Let the image come to me Of nature's resurrection And focus on a patch of green... I'll picture this upon a screen And paint the grass A thousand shades of summer oh, in a portrait of a dream I'll picture this in magazines A photograph of fields in different colours oh, in a portrait of a dream
