about

First free single, videoclip on www.youtube.com/watch?v=00geQftMxAM

“The German Caspar David Friedrich always seems to paint things which are not yet there. A kind of special tinge of hope when you see his portrait of windows, crucifixions on mountains, golden graveyards and the beauty of dawn. That hope is also heard in Lee Anns light playing on the Wurlitzer. And you can probably guess by now who this King is in the end of the song.”

lyrics

(Music and lyrics by Paul Cherryseed)

This morning I opened my dark green shutters
And what I saw was such a surprise
I was so used to the gnashing of darkness
The garden was a light paradise

Now I see tomorrow in today
But if I forget the smiles I’ve met
I just go uphill and that’s my way
To let His wind shine face to face

CHORUS
I see Caspar in the window
He’s sketching a picture
The setting sun that never goes
I see Caspar in the window
He’s painting a picture
Of the view on the world that is
And is to come

BRIDGE
No need for clouds
‘Cause my heart is hanging in the sky
At twenty-seven million feet, is it impossible?
I wonder now

When I’m standing on a rocky mountain
I see a wall of fog unfold
Still around me there’s something soothing
A rainbow rich without all the gold

I feel comfortable, when I’m not nervous
About the things that are gonna come
When I’m staring in the black abyss
I know that He will still lead me on

CHORUS
I see Caspar in the window
He’s sketching a picture
A graveyard with a golden glow
I see Caspar in the window
He’s painting a picture
Of the view on the world that is
And is to come

BRIDGE
No need for planes
‘cause my soul flies to every side
A burning flame for peace
Is it impossible
Or is the future bright?

How did the world begin*?
Chicken or egg? A chicken because
Otherwise who would take
Care of the poor little ones

CHORUS
I see Caspar in the window
He’s sketching a picture
A crucified landscape growns
I see Caspar in the window
He’s painting a picture
Of the view on the King that is
And is to come
