Retrospective - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]

Now when the paint was dry[00:00:02]

And the colours set[00:00:07]

It was painful yet[00:00:09]

To an honest eye[00:00:13]

Here where the walls were hung[00:00:20]

With the sweat of years[00:00:25]

The familiar fears[00:00:28]

Since the hands were young[00:00:32]

Now in a battered chair[00:00:40]

With his tea gone cold[00:00:45]

And his hands grown old[00:00:48]

He was sit and stare[00:00:52]

Here where his life is hung[00:00:59]

With the blood in view[00:01:04]

There's been nothing new[00:01:07]

Since the hands were young[00:01:11]

Schoolboys laugh in the streets below[00:01:23]

Laughter cruel as the long ago[00:01:30]

Fingers point through the bitter years[00:01:37]

And the bitter tears[00:01:43]

Now when the paint was dry[00:01:50]

And the die was cast[00:01:55]

It was clear at last[00:01:58]

It was all a lie[00:02:00]

Red never left his hand[00:02:07]

And the blue was wrong[00:02:11]

With a green too strong[00:02:14]

Never what he planned[00:02:19]

Now in a rumpled bed[00:02:27]

With a night to kill[00:02:32]

He'll be painting still[00:02:34]

If he isn't dead[00:02:37]

Now he can only stare[00:02:44]

As the old dream falls[00:02:48]

At the mocking walls[00:02:52]

And the walls are bare[00:02:58]
