Chiaroscuro lyrics

Artist  : Paula Cole 
Song : Chiaroscuro



 Send "Chiaroscuro" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
Goya and El Greco, Gaugin and Van Gogh 
Painted light in the darkness, chiaroscuro 
Imagine we were a painting 
A woman and a man, 
Two lovers on a canvas 
On is white, one is black.

Darkness and light will be married tonight in
chiaroscuro
Your body on mine - two colors combined in
chiaroscuro 

Vermeer and Velazquez, Rembrandt and Rousseau 
Painted perfect union, chiaroscuro 
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 together, in our secret unity 
Our skins become the still life, our souls
epiphany
