the little artista

I made an animated music video for this song i wrote about a girl who is a starving artist and goes back and forth between the fairy world. (this is an electric rendition, i've always played it acoustically,so i'm still figuring it out, might redu the vox) the film also features my mom's and sister's artwork and it is dedicated to my sister and my mom and artists all over the world . Love, Dawn. Here are the lyrics;

There's a little girl in Paris
sits inside her room
painting on her canvas
or weaving on her loom

she does not have a dollar
she does not have her bread
but she has her paint brushes
and her fine silk thread

little girl, starves the artist to the bone
little girl, she cannot leave her home

she stays home on a sunny day
painting pictures of circus clowns
and colors as they play
all the answers are flowing from her hand
as she paints all the fairies in fairy land

little girl, starves the artist to the bone
little girl, she cannot leave her home

she was queen of fairies in fairyland
and she paints pictures of memories so grand
she doesn't notice this life going by
she dreams all the while to return into the sky

little girl, starves the artist to the bone
little girl, she cannot leave her home

she's trying to believe that it's worthy to starve
that it's righteous to be hungry
it's a calling from above

and she knows the circus clown
he dances plays and gambles round
Pegasus and unicorn surround her
round her magic ground

there's a little girl in Berkeley [or Boston or London or Tehran or Lima or wherever you are right now]
sits inside her room
painting on her canvas
or weaving on her lomb
she does not have a dollar
she does not have her bread
but she had her paint brushes
and her fine silk thread
