lyrics

Picasso made a weeping woman
from blue shadows, cast on windows
i'm watching a film, on an old projector
1940 was a year to remember

and after that, the great disaster
weeping men played chess in shelters
weeping men played chess in shelters
when i was playing with George Dugan

and only a black shade and the sirens
disturbed the dreams of a child sleeping

disturbed the dreams of a child sleeping

Picasso made a weeping woman
from blue shadows, cast on windows
i'm watching film on an old projector
1940 was a year to remember
