lyrics

Six rusty strings
Are the very last things
keeping my mind at ease
I heard the news today
That you had passed away
Never to paint another picture
You crossed the ocean
86 years ago this may
And you were only 8
How did it feel?

Six rusty strings
Are the very last things keeping my mind at ease
I play the blues today
News fresh you'd had passed away
So many stories Left to say
You almost drowned
In the tiny creek behind your house
You met the tallest man earth

Your name in black ink on a big tattoo
Will never say what I wish I could have
Said to you

Your painting of dusk headlights the fall
Still hangs proudly on my wall
Next to the glacier and golden gate bridge
I wanna see the things I know you did

Your name in black ink on a big tattoo
Will never say what I wish I could have
Said to you
