Mark Rothko Song - Dar Williams[00:00:00]

The blue it speaks so full[00:00:15]

It's like the beauty one can barely stand[00:00:17]

Or too much things dropped in your hand[00:00:20]

And there's a green[00:00:24]

Like the peace in your heart sometimes[00:00:25]

Painted underneath the sheets of ashy snow[00:00:30]

And there's a blue like[00:00:34]

Where the urban angels go very bright[00:00:36]

Now the Calder mobile tips a biomorphic sphere[00:00:42]

Then it swings its dangling pieces [00:00:49]

Round to other paintings here[00:00:51]

Your behavior is so male[00:00:58]

It's like you can't explain yourself to me[00:01:00]

I think I'll ask Renoir to tea[00:01:02]

For his flowers are as real as they are all the time[00:01:07]

And the sunlight sets the furniture aglow[00:01:13]

It's a pleasant time as far as people go [00:01:18]

How far do they go [00:01:21]

Well his roses are perfect and his words have no wings[00:01:25]

I know what he can give me and[00:01:32]

I like to know these things[00:01:34]

I met her at the funeral[00:01:54]

She said "I don't know what he meant to me[00:01:56]

I just know he affected me[00:01:59]

An effect not unlike his art I believe"[00:02:02]

The service starts and we are in the know[00:02:09]

He had so much to say but more[00:02:14]

To show and ain't that true of life [00:02:16]

So we weep for a person who lived at great cost[00:02:20]

Yet we barely knew his powers[00:02:27]

'Til we sensed that we had lost[00:02:29]

A friend and I in a museum room[00:02:39]

She says "Look at Mark Rothko's side[00:02:41]

Did you know about his suicide "[00:02:43]

Some folks were born with a foot[00:02:47]

In the grave but not me of course[00:02:50]

And she smiles as if to say we're in the know[00:02:55]

Then she names a coffee place where we can go uptown[00:02:59]

Now the painting is desperate but the crowds wash away[00:03:06]

In a world of kind pedestrians who've seen enough today[00:03:13]
