"Colors" lyrics
"Colors"
Well I lie, lie awake
On a cool damn night
Giving in all up to the darkness
Just to see
Just to visit with the light
And it makes, my eyes wet again
Just to think of where we've been
Since we've begun
Count my wrongs and multiply them
By the rights to justify just what I feel
What I feel inside
Well I don't, I don't seem to worry
No love about worrying
Too much these days
'Bout the time left to get things done
Or the days as, as they come my way
They all vanish into one
So I paint what love [?]
Yes love of this life
As I watch them fade to grey
Colors of orange, red, black and green
All have me bursting at the seams
And I know that every day
Is a dying day
And when I feel like I can't go on
I might need you to carry on
And when I feel the lonely is longing
I might need you to carry on
Said don't analyse it
Or try to resize it
To make yourself fit in all this bullshit
About what life's s'posed to
'N what not s'posed to be
You gotta be real cool child
So you won't be fooled now
And you hold on tight child
And you do us right yes
Know that every day
Is a living day
Know that every day
Is a dying day
Oh and it goes on and on and on and on and on
Yes love, 'cause this life
Is just a song, is just a song
Yeah
And I count my wrongs and multiply them
By the rights to justify just what I feel
What I feel inside
Colors of orange, red black and green
All have me bursting at the seams
And I know that every day
Is a dying day
Is a living day
Is a dying day

Mavis Staples - "Jesus Wept" My throat quits when I try to say
How I long for the day
How I wish there was a way
I could see you again
I wither next to my thorns
I thread my tongue through the horn
Arm in arm we are born
Arm in...
The Lone Bellow - "Fake Roses" Fake roses on the mantle
Elvis postcards on the fridge
Ed lays softly by the ringer
Baby’s sleeping in the crib
Old broken taped up tail light
On momma’s Monte Carlo
She don’t open all the gas bills...
Jim James - "Wasted" If you had eyes like golden crowns and
Diamonds in your fingertips you'd waste it
If shining wisdom passed your lips and
Traveled to the ears of God you'd waste it
And so I hate that you're overrated...
Hiss Golden Messenger - "Lucia" Lucia's on the skin of the river, yeah the wise old river
Drove my car to go meet her, couldn't find the water
And I had a message from San Geronimo
With a feather, go and find his daughter
She was...

To be the person that I really am inside
To tell you all the things that I did that night
Sometimes it just ain't easy to live an honest life
