I'll take your days

I'll take your darkest days

I'll take your days

I'll take your dark days



And inside your painting

There I'll be

Inside your painting

I'm cadmium yellow

I'm walking across the green



I'll take your days

I'll take your darkest days

I'll take your days

I'll take your dark days



And inside your painting

Is a blue trapeze

Inside your painting

You're playing harmonica

I'm reading erotica



The sky is vermilion, the sun is sienna

Another chartreuse day

The landscape is shimmering

Outside of Vienna doing a tour jete



I'll take your days

(I'll take your days)

I'll take your darkest days

I'll take your days

(I'll take your days)

I'll take your dark days



And inside your painting

Is Henri Matisse

Inside your painting

We're living in France

And I'm fond of your fantasies
