about

inspired by a painting done of an old deserted house in Tuscany by my old friend, Canadian artist Philip Buller, this track features a counter melody sung in Italian by one of Italy's premier singer songwriters, Stefano Barotti

lyrics

if i could paint you a picture of somewhere like italy
now there’s a place of romance
i will tell you what you’d see
you’d see a perfect little me
taking the big chance

and when i painted the moon
i’d paint it half gone but hoping this half is brighter
and when things could go either way
i’d give myself the chance to say

right or wrong
sometimes there’s only now
that’s how the garden grows
it doesn’t wonder how

like a moth to a flame you draw me closer
and it gets brighter
i’ll put my secrets in your hand
and you can burn me where i stand

right or wrong
sometimes there’s only now
that’s how the garden grows
it doesn’t wonder how

and a hundred years from now
in someone else’s eyes
a crumbling garden wall
the secrets of the kind

if i could paint you a picture of somewhere like italy
i’d put my secrets in your hand
and you could burn me where i stand

right or wrong
sometimes there’s only now
that’s how the garden grows
it doesn’t wonder how

ce sia bene o sia male no so
ma tutto il tempo
que abiamo e soltanto adesso

come in questo giardino
che cresce e non chiede mai
che stagione farà

if i could paint you a picture of somewhere like italy
