Colours Of A Shade
The day was old - the light was dim, as I stepped through the door And all my friends were gathering that day that I recall I shivered and shook, Lord I stood just waiting to chase the fall I wondered how my time would be when spring comes round once more I face the wind - I have no choice, but you must guard the heart And cast adrift from those I love, alone I drag my heart Against the cry of "why?" I turn my back to go But out beyond the tears somewhere, someone I need to know It's only love, in the colours of the shade It's only love, in the colours of the shade Old photographs were fading dim - my seed will tell it all And by the fathers' fathers' hands such pain on all was raw They read the signs without surprise of how they knew it well And in the mirror still I see the man, who came from hell It's only love and the colours of the shade It's only love, in the colours of the shade It's only love, in the colours of the shade From Letras Mania
