Eyes Of A Painter - Live in Austin, TX Version
Gray-haired and flint-eyed, his sunburned face lined Grandpa was a man of few words He had a way of not wanting to say Any more than he thought would be heard
The long years of living, day-to-day giving Had carved out a map on his face With little to lose, he'd learned how to choose And his choices were easy to trace
He had the eyes of a painter Heart of a maker of songs His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain Precious and so quickly gone
From a long line of teachers, white Baptist preachers He was born with an Indian will His quiet dark eyes, reading the light As he rode in the low Osage hills
His school was the prairie, the sage, the wild berry The quail, the wide open sky The cottonwood thicket by the slow rolling river The Redbud and the hot cattle drive
He had the eyes of a painter Heart of a maker of songs His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain Precious and so quickly gone

His strong arms were brown, where the long sleeves Rolled down, on his faded blue cotton shirt When times got hard, he'd go out in the yard And he'd cuss away some of his hurt
He had the eyes of a painter Heart of a maker of songs His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain Precious and so quickly gone
Now the garden's grown dusty, hand axe lies rusty The door's banging hard in the wind Grandpa's store is closed down, like most of the town And it won't be open again
And the big white car, sits out in the yard Of the house he built solid and true Oh, but I see his eyes, burning tonight Like the stars in the sky he once knew
He had the eyes of a painter Heart of a maker of songs His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain Precious and so quickly gone
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain Precious and so quickly gone
