lyrics

As the photo reached my eyes
It caused butterflies to rise
With my vision swimming too
At this vision seen of you
Only one thing I had seen
Caused such swirliness in me
Only two sights bring that state
They’re a Rothko and your face

It’s religion without God
Or an inkling of love
It is living’s saving grace
It’s a Rothko or your face

There’s a Mona Lisa smile
But that isn’t what beguiles
It’s the luminosity
That you robbed from Rothko’s dream

And that man is truly rich
Who can always survey it
But would Rothko call disgrace
Hoarding a Rothko or your face

And though both of you’ll degrade
Those sensations will remain
Till the day my brain gives way
There’s a Rothko and your face
