Olana (LP Version) - MARC COHN[00:00:00]
They say my final masterpiece[00:00:22]
Was this house upon the hill[00:00:27]
High above the great and mighty river[00:00:31]
My hand could not hold the brushes[00:00:40]
Yes I guess I lost my will[00:00:45]
And you can't keep painting paradise forever[00:00:49]
Oh forever[00:00:57]
From the Andes to Niagara[00:01:07]
To where we stand today[00:01:12]
I drew the great creations of my master[00:01:16]
'Til the oil and the canvas[00:01:24]
Lord I threw them all away[00:01:30]
And traded them for stone and brick and plaster[00:01:34]
I traded them all for you[00:01:41]
(Winter wind blows and the river lies frozen at my feet)[00:01:43]
I traded them all for you[00:01:50]
(Springtime come and the river wanna run above the street)[00:01:52]
She came to me one night[00:02:05]
While I was tossing in my dreams[00:02:09]
She said she'd give my family protection[00:02:14]
I recall the night I died[00:02:23]
Beneath her arches and her beams[00:02:26]
I thanked her for the shelter and direction[00:02:32]
I was lost until Olana[00:02:39]
(Sun beat down on a summertime town he left me there)[00:02:43]
I was lost until Olana[00:02:48]
(Watching these hills turning gold for one more year)[00:02:51]
Oh I've been from Jerusalem to Rome[00:02:59]
Now I'm floating through these rooms tonight alone[00:03:08]
And looking back on everything[00:03:17]
All I ever wanted was a home[00:03:22]
I was lost until Olana[00:03:42]
How sweet the sound[00:03:48]
How sweet the sound sweet the sound[00:03:50]
They say my final masterpiece[00:03:58]
Was this house upon the hill[00:04:02]
