I bought a print of the painting "Christina's World" by Andrew Wyeth on a street corner and put it up in my room at college. A few months later a song emerged. I've always loved artists and eventually I had a series of songs paying homage to their work. This one got it all started.

lyrics

Out in an open field a young girl lies
She's turned away so I can't see her eyes
She's watching the hill around the houses rise
Her name is Christina

A broken road leads to the gray background
Where time walks by without a sound
There's not another living thing around
No one but Christina

Does the tall brown grass bristle your skin?
When did this mood you have begin?
Are you just a child that's fallen again?
Or lost inside a life that could've been?

A summer day in nineteen-forty-eight
The shadows start to show it's getting late
But it seems as if the girl will always wait
The girl named Christina

Always reaching out but no one is there
Over and over, like a prayer
Never look away from eternity's stare
It's hard to know you in nowhere

Christina makes her wishes to the wind
Right now it seems to be her only friend
And you have to be such a lonely girl
To live within Christina's World
