Текст песни: Portrait of A Dream + перевод

Safe within my ivory tower

I contemplate the Manhattan skyline

(can't see the woods for the trees)

I watch the people way below

Moving in some other sort of lifetime…

And buildings that stand grey and tall

Look in through my window

But I want to see a patch of green…

I’ll picture this upon a screen

And paint the grass

A thousand shades of summer

(oh, in a portrait of a dream)

I’ll picture this in magazines

A photograph of fields in different colours

(oh, in a portrait of a dream)

Clouds are forming overhead

And rain falls in a testament of silence

(feels like an omen to me)

Above the city’s concrete walls

The sun shines through and silhouettes the sidewalks…

And there beneath the gleaming spires

Small, yet so familiar

I see a perfect patch of green…

I’ll picture this upon a screen

And paint the grass

A thousand shades of summer

(oh, in a portrait of a dream)

I’ll picture this in magazines

A photograph of fields in different colours

(oh, in a portrait of a dream)

And every morning I will see out of my window

An illustration to my soul

(it won’t fade away)

And in my hear I’ll keep the memory

Like a photo

That’s all I ever need to know…

Let the image come to me Of nature’s resurrection

And focus on a patch of green…

I’ll picture this upon a screen

And paint the grass

A thousand shades of summer

(oh, in a portrait of a dream)

I’ll picture this in magazines

A photograph of fields in different colours

(oh, in a portrait of a dream)
