Colourful

Colour the trees and shade my eyes

 As I look into the sun through luminous leaves.

 Lay down beside me as your spirit dies

 And let the tears slide down as you breathe.

 Let the earth and the worms feel your skin

 As you try to feel alive within

 I'll sing a song about caving in

 And pick flowers from where the graves have been.

 

You can look at me while I walk,

 You can wish for me to stop,

 You can wish to drown and rise again,

 You can wish the sky to drop.

 

But when I come back and wake you up

 Don't think that it's all gone.

 The pain is here, on the dreams they snare

 But you'll know how to lead them on.

 Don't pack your things, come sit by me

 And I'll fix your hair and smile.

 I'll colour Spring in orange and green

 As you walk into the light.
