Paula Cole - Chiaroscuro lyrics

Goya and el grecogaugin and van gogh

Painted light in the darknesschiaroscuro

Imagine we were a painting

A woman and a man

Two lovers on a canvas

On is whiteone is black.

Darkness and light will be married tonight in chiaroscuro

Your body on mine - two colors combined in chiaroscuro

Vermeer and velazquezrembrandt and rousseau

Painted perfect unionchiaroscuro

The man and the woman

The knife and the spoon

The xylem and the phloem

The sun and the moon

Chorus

How we lived a secret life from racist eyes

You said I couldn't understand you anyway I tried

But in this moment togetherin our secret unity

Our skins become the still lifeour souls epiphany
