Intro ----- You colour me in gold Lips like petals on my throat And those fingertips like paintbrush strokes Paper boats softly float Like a song we wrote But summer comes and summer goes You change your hair you change your clothes Damj7* The books you read help you explore A world that you believed in Once before You colour me in gold Kiss the freckles on my nose With those blood-red pomegranate lips Taking sips, hand on hip Your face could launch a thousand ships But winter comes and brings the snow You change your job, you change your home Damj7* Bmin Still reading books about the ghost Of a world you can't be living Anymore And after all you've been nothing but good to me And the only way that I can pay you back Is to daily seek those distant memories * While I'm standing next to you So, when springtime comes and blossoms grow Come take my hand, can we expose Damj7* The hideaways, the hidden doors The stories we believed in Ooooh The land that we both dreamed in Once before You colour me in gold
