White Paper

[00:02.56] The different shades of white
[00:08.49] Are in my head tonight
[00:15.72] What happened to the colours of fire?
[00:31.08] What happened to the colours?
[01:07.78] She is painting forty different shades of white
[01:18.26] On white paper
[01:23.73] On white paper
[01:32.23] Glowing happiness arrived the day
[01:40.54] Baby came to stay
[01:46.67] And all is well in the new world
[01:59.25] I, on the other hand,
[02:04.79] Can't seem to settle down
[02:10.58] My eyes hurry not to see her falling away from me
[02:25.14] I'm painting forty different shades of green
[02:32.06] For all I'm worth, on yesterday's paper
[02:46.30] But innocence is never news
[02:53.07] The black keeps bleeding through
[02:59.08] Only to reveal our worldly blues
[03:27.11] Doesn't seem so long since we were young
[03:38.27] Oh, when we were young
[03:43.60] When we were young
[04:02.55] I see families walking in the park
[04:10.84] Who seem quite happy to live this way
[04:24.55] She asks me, "What's the matter darling?
[04:32.98] You're suddenly grey. You don't look well..."
[04:43.97] The arms of another
[04:49.04] It's my idea of hell
[04:55.87] So shout if you find a way back to the light and air
[05:07.07] Laughing and changing the subject
[05:12.88] Ain't gonna get you there
[05:17.24] The different shades of white
[05:22.44] Fill my head tonight
[05:27.68] What happened to the colours?
[05:33.26] What happened to the colours?
[05:38.92] The different shades of white
[05:44.67] Are everywhere tonight
[05:50.32] What happened to the colours of fire?
[06:05.56] I used to be centre-stage
[06:10.90] Time I should act my age
[06:16.27] And watch from the shadowed wings
[06:25.33] All these beautiful things
[06:42.16] All these beautiful things
[06:50.96] Even now
[06:53.91] My eyes that hurry to see no more are painting, painting
[07:05.99] Faces of my lost girl.
