[ti:Mark Rothko Song] [ar:Dar Williams] [al:The Honesty Room] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Mark Rothko Song - Dar Williams [00:07.88]Written by：Dar William [00:15.77]The blue it speaks so full [00:17.44]It's like the beauty one can barely stand [00:20.14]Or too much things dropped in your hand [00:24.38]And there's a green [00:25.80]Like the peace in your heart sometimes [00:30.57]Painted underneath the sheets of ashy snow [00:34.89]And there's a blue like [00:36.20]Where the urban angels go very bright [00:42.22]Now the Calder mobile tips a biomorphic sphere [00:49.08]Then it swings its dangling pieces [00:51.05]Round to other paintings here [00:58.32]Your behavior is so male [01:00.24]It's like you can't explain yourself to me [01:02.98]I think I'll ask Renoir to tea [01:07.68]For his flowers are as real as they are all the time [01:13.51]And the sunlight sets the furniture aglow [01:18.43]It's a pleasant time as far as people go [01:21.68]How far do they go [01:25.16]Well his roses are perfect and his words have no wings [01:32.19]I know what he can give me and [01:34.44]I like to know these things [01:54.50]I met her at the funeral [01:56.38]She said "I don't know what he meant to me [01:59.12]I just know he affected me [02:02.39]An effect not unlike his art I believe" [02:09.57]The service starts and we are in the know [02:14.10]He had so much to say but more [02:16.47]To show and ain't that true of life [02:20.75]So we weep for a person who lived at great cost [02:27.52]Yet we barely knew his powers [02:29.58]'Til we sensed that we had lost [02:39.09]A friend and I in a museum room [02:41.69]She says "Look at Mark Rothko's side [02:43.57]Did you know about his suicide " [02:47.66]Some folks were born with a foot [02:50.06]In the grave but not me of course [02:55.06]And she smiles as if to say we're in the know [02:59.62]Then she names a coffee place where we can go uptown [03:06.34]Now the painting is desperate but the crowds wash away [03:13.26]In a world of kind pedestrians who've seen enough today
