On a quiet summer's day
A Painter works his brush away
On a canvas blue and gray
And the breeze and wheatfields sway
Past the home of your friend, Gashet
It should have been like any other day
You interrupted those boys at play
Now beneath this ground, you lay
The Color of Life slowly fades away
In your Garden of Silence
Forever may you stay
The Color of Life slowly fades away
In your Garden of Silence
Forever may you stay
All your dreams on canvas lay
In the hands of Johanna, pray
In love you worked your brush away
On that final Summer's day
The Colors of Life slowly fade away
In your Garden of Silence
Forever may you stay
On a quiet summer's day
A Painter works his brush away
On a canvas blue and gray
In a Garden of Silence you lay
