Portrait Of A Dream Songtext

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
m!s.c. l.ohlsss?
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]
