GREY PAINTER SUITE (words and music by Romina Di Gasbarro except lyrics in A Song Sung by Federico Garcia Lorca)

1.GREY PAINTER

I see myself in the hand of a Grey Painter,
painting by waterfalls and fruit stands.
People passing, following his traces,
paint hope under the leaves.

Of twenty of them before him
painting packages of technique and hourless galleries,
of twenty of them before him
shaping his memories
at least one drew what I think of me.

Wet by hourless galleries, I swear I am a line in that palm that lies down shamelessness,
in colours.

You have no spades behind you,
and I only one.
But I can’t love you nonetheless!
Cause you’re a grey painter, so full of grey,
and I don’t want to be covered in greyness.

Of twenty of them before him
painting packages of technique and hourless galleries,
of twenty of them before him
shaping his memories
at least one drew what I think of me.

Wet by hourless galleries, I swear I am a line in that palm that lies down shamelessness,
in words.
