25th song in Fort Vine's "A SONG A DAY IN THE MONTH OF MAY" series.

lyrics

Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter

So I saw you painting waterfalls
and I came down to talk to you
and you told me your stories

I was sorry when I heard about
your brother passing on from the world
I know how hard that can be

It was nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter

You, meditating as you paint the view
of the beauty all around you
and yeah, you got it right

It was nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter

So I climbed up the waterfall
after you and I had said our goodbyes
and jumped from rock to rock
and I made it up to the top
I sang a song in the woods
as I made my way upstream
it felt like I was walking in a dream

It was nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
It was nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
Nice to meet ya, oil painter
