Colours of Rain

a song—shoegaze—key of G

start to fall in love with pictures
dancing from afar
i saw you dancing with your sisters
i wonder where you are

take the bleeding rainbow
and wash it down the drain
in city streets where silver shows
the colours of the rain

red will make you smile
blue will make you scream
yellow is your shining sun
that bleeds the life right out of me
you lie with me in green
orange will make you sleep
violet moons are waining for you
look up and see

not a frame and not a canvas
could ever find the light
the brush is lightning, the water's thunder
the storm begins tonight
i feel the raindrop kisses searing
as acid on my skin
i start to tremble from the fearing—
the rain begins again

whites and blacks and grays, i miss them
curing so much pain
only with your eyes listen
to the colours of the rain

red will make you smile
blue will make you scream
yellow is your shining sun
that bleeds the life right out of me
you lie with me in green
orange will make you sleep
violet moons are waining for you
look up and see

i photographs i know you'll never
ever feel the same
i saw you painting with your palate
and colours of the rain
the rain
the rain
