Eyes Of A Painter - Kate Wolf[00:00:00]

Gray-haired and flint-eyed his sunburned face lined[00:00:12]

Grandpa was a man of few words[00:00:16]

He had a way of not wanting to say[00:00:20]

Any more than he thought would be heard[00:00:23]

The long years of living day-to-day giving[00:00:28]

Had carved out a map on his face[00:00:32]

With little to lose he'd learned how to choose[00:00:36]

And his choices were easy to trace[00:00:40]

He had the eyes of a painter[00:00:44]

Heart of a maker of songs[00:00:47]

His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain[00:00:50]

Precious and so quickly gone[00:00:55]

From a long line of teachers white Baptist preachers[00:01:01]

He was born with an Indian will[00:01:05]

His quiet dark eyes reading the light[00:01:09]

As he rode in the low Osage hills[00:01:13]

His school was the prairie the sage the wild berry[00:01:17]

The quail the wide open sky[00:01:21]

The cottonwood thicket by the slow rolling river[00:01:26]

The Redbud and the hot cattle drive[00:01:30]

He had the eyes of a painter[00:01:33]

Heart of a maker of songs[00:01:36]

His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain[00:01:40]

Precious and so quickly gone[00:01:44]

There were days filled with thinking nights with the drinking[00:01:56]

For a lost love that raged like a storm[00:02:00]

Oh but how his eyes smiled when he'd talk to a child[00:02:05]

The rough hands so gentle and warm[00:02:09]

His strong arms were brown where the long sleeves[00:02:13]

Rolled down on his faded blue cotton shirt[00:02:16]

When times got hard he'd go out in the yard[00:02:21]

And he'd cuss away some of his hurt[00:02:25]

He had the eyes of a painter[00:02:29]

Heart of a maker of songs[00:02:32]

His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain[00:02:35]

Precious and so quickly gone[00:02:40]

Now the garden's grown dusty hand axe lies rusty[00:02:46]

The door's banging hard in the wind[00:02:50]

Grandpa's store is closed down like most of the town[00:02:54]

And it won't be open again[00:02:59]

And the big white car sits out in the yard[00:03:02]

Of the house he built solid and true[00:03:06]

Oh but I see his eyes burning tonight[00:03:10]

Like the stars in the sky he once knew[00:03:14]

He had the eyes of a painter[00:03:18]

Heart of a maker of songs[00:03:21]

His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain[00:03:25]

Precious and so quickly gone[00:03:30]

His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain[00:03:33]

Precious and so quickly gone[00:03:39]
