Declan O'Rourke - In Painters' Light

 

 

One day I'll be an artist I will rise up with the dawn

mix colours for my canvas through the silence of the morning

in painters light.

In the quiet there a fishing boat will gently breathe in its colours

and reflect across the sky-filled seam

in painters light.

 

I don’t know what it is that's kept me from it all this time

best way to kill the thing you love

is if you never even try

but I won’t let my love die.

 

When I was but a boy I fell in love with how the hand

with just a pencil could create a flower, a face, a country landscape

and how an artist could wear his heart upon on my sleeve.

And I got lost in every line until that boy became a man,

my childish dreams of exhibitions somehow stayed a secret plan

and you know yourself, my friends, what life can do with plans.

 

This old game I'm in demands that I commit the perfect crime

say each man kills the thing he loves

If you just give him enough time

but I won’t kill mine!

One day I’ll be an artist. I will rise up with the dawn.


      A stunning combination of music and drawings, both moving in different ways, both complementary to each other.
