about

a song about the painter Piet Mondrian.
this is a video of me singing Blue Car,
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F9iQgtK9kM

lyrics

red truck turns a corner
early in the evening
a blue car is passing by
a yellow cab, stops at the light

Mondrian is painting
red and blue and yellow
he looks out at the night
he hears the street, and sees the lights


horns down on the corner
somewhere, an orchestra is tuning up
and on the street a thousand feet
dance .. to a heart beat

Mondrian is waiting
he picks up a brush
in the ..New York night
..he paints the light
