Paintbrush for a Star

Family memory

Aiko's very first song — a tiny artist painting stars across the sky.

Lyrics

Transcribed from the recording — close to the song, but not always word-perfect.

Blue fur and four years of sun on my paws
Mars aligns, pink streaks ignore all the laws
Paint on our faces and gold on the wall
Ico is five and I'm catching the fall
We're flying the sky, now past the green and the blue
River like a ribbon, Marselina, I see you
Paintbrush, forest, forest, star
Clouds like puppy white sheep
A secret in the sky is the promise we keep
White clouds for pillows, we're higher than high
Blue kittens and pink paint across the whole sky
Mars aligns, wings catch the light as we go
Leaving the toys and the floorboards below
We're flying the sky, now past the green and the blue
River like a ribbon, Marselina, I see you
Paintbrush, forest, forest, star
Clouds like puppy white sheep
A secret in the sky is the promise we keep
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Dreaming in the day before the day go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Marselina, Ico, back to the paint, back to the floor
Four years and five years let's do it once more
Ico and Marselina, painting our way
clouds for the rest of the day.
