Pinch of Silver

Why don't you paint me a picture And make it shine like gold See my friend seems to think I am wrong When all I need is a little bit of beautiful How 'bout you take all of the sadness And paint it up in a shade of blue All the greens and tangerines The colours that seem so serene Means I'm thinking of you Yellow's for the sunshine Red is for the wine I'll take a pinch of silver for the sea And if by chance we have the light It would be my one delight If maybe you could spend a little time with me What about you fade all your fancies And make it out in a colour so bold 'Cause all who see then must believe That all we need is a little bit of growing old How bout you take all of the happiness And paint it up in a turquoise and fire All the while I'll sit and smile and on my feet I'd walk for miles All because I believe we'd get a little higher Yellow's for the sunshine Red is for the wine I'll take a pinch of silver for the sea And if by chance we have the light It would be my one delight If maybe you could spend a little time with me Then again you could take all your chances And shade it in any way you see fine 'Cause anywhere you walk in this world If you and your way you know I won't be far behind Maybe we could take in the stars tonight Or maybe we could cosy up and doze The moon it seems has seen our dreams And told the sun to paint this scene Funny thing is we're the only ones who know Yellow's for the sunshine Red is for the wine I'll take a pinch of silver for the sea And if by chance we have the light It would be my one delight If maybe you could spend a little time with me
