Ivan Funk - Bastien lyrics

[Verse 1] Along the front there are pots with snapdragons Embedded lights of different colors in the gardens around the back Green trimming below the withe fingers of the willow that the previous owner planted [Chorus 1] And inside is a photographer with a laundering eye Wonder what he's keeping in his silver halide [Verse 2] There are gutters with downspouts that feed copper basins Assorted flags and bird baths - they have my attention I've never seen him take a picture of his own place [Chorus 2] Inside is a photographer with a laundering eye I saw him in the brake lights in my rear-view mirror In that glowing curio he looked so familiar But I don't think we've met I don't think I know him [Solo] [Verse 3] I've toured his house, it's different every time depending on what I make it There have been sheep wandering the halls in kind, easy light He's been Martin Bryant and Danny "Columbin", God, my silent brother
