lyrics
I caught a glimpse and it shot through my senses
Like nothing that I’ve known before
Standing in front of a canvas, so wonderfully lost
In the luster and lure
I reach out my hand as the brushwork commands
And am sucked-in and shown something more
The light breaks
Pellapetisimo
Soaking up the sun
Of another day
Somewhere in the maze
Of brambles and bright green foliage
My heart aches
Pellapetisimo
Our time together
Nearing over and done
Soon the sun will fade out
Forever on these summer days
[Refrain]
I caught a glimpse and it shot through my senses
Like nothing that I’ve known before
Standing in front of a canvas, so wonderfully lost
In the luster and lure
That’s all folks
Pellapetisimo
Kicking up his heels
And pedaling back
Farewell, that’s a wrap
Spin the cane and wave the skimmer-cap
Daisy waits
At the top of the hill, she sees
Spilling over with
The rush of the red-orange tide at sunset
A shadowy figure all stems and leaf
[Refrain]
[Refrain]
Standing in front of a canvas, so wonderfully lost
In the luster and lure
I reach out my hand as the brushwork commands
And am sucked-in and shown something more
The light wanes
Pellapetisimo
Saying our goodbyes
To Wally and Chris
Lily Black and those kids
Nestled together in the grass
Sally Tess
Wishing you all the best
Lest we all forget
As one awakened
From a beautiful dream
He’ll be there whispering in the reeds
