Lyrics
(inspired by the photography and life story of the recently discovered street photographer Vivian Maier)
Yeah the little kid claims to be a man of adventure
With his raccoon hat and glasses a renegade
His father’s face is rugged but he carries it with grace
His eyes on the road and his mind in deep space
So welcome to paradise
In black and white through Vivian’s eyes
She caresses paper and she places on the water
Yet another soul that dances with her own
Looking at her photograph in her dark room
Is it God who winks or is she just that alone?
So welcome to paradise
In black and white through Vivian’s eyes
