An Architect’s Dream Songtext
von Kate Bush

If I can lighten the browns in the sand
And rub it right into where the sky′s reaching down
So it's like the edge of a mirror
But this blue needs to be darker, much darker
Maybe if I can just blend it a bit
Yes, that might do it
Almost like that

Watching the painter painting

And all the time the light is changing
And he keeps painting

That bit there, it was an accident
But he′s so pleased

It's the best mistake he could make
And it's my favourite piece
It′s just great


The flick of a wrist
Twisting down to the hips
So the lovers begin, with a kiss

In a tryst

Just a smudge
But what it becomes
In his hands

Curving and sweeping
Rising and reaching
I could feel what he was feeling (watching the painter painting)

Lines like these have got to be
An architect′s dream

It's always the same

Whenever he works on a pavement
(Watching the painter painting)
It starts to rain

And all the time the light is changing
