Sweet Release

She paints her picture in blues and in greens

She paints away her troubles in a splash of dreams

With shadows and light

She'll paint stars in the night

Picture a postcard of red coral trees

Of sailing boats on veridian seas

And through this sweet madness

Her brush moves on the canvas

Oh sweet release

Come to me now and hold me tight

Oh sweet release

Bring down some peace on this child tonight

She talks in colours, her stories are bold

All her world is shining in silver and in gold

And she waits on her muse

And she lights up the fuse

Oh sweet release

Come to me now and hold me tight

Oh sweet release

Bring down some peace on this child – this child tonight

Buddha hangs in the gallery

Shining green and blue

Sparks fly from his body

He smiles down on me

He's smiling down on you

I wish I could see things the way that you do

Michelangelo could see the angels too

They were flying on the ceiling

Oh sweet release

Come to me now and hold me tight

Oh such sweet release

Bring down some peace on this child – this child tonight

Bring down some peace tonight

Bring down some peace

Bring down some peace tonight
