When I see you now
After all these years
All the fire is gone
Only sadness in your tears
But you showed me the promise
Now you don't seem to care
You're just crying colours
You're running scared
Faded shadows
from the past
Colours of the dye you never cast
You live your life in black and white
You're comfortable at last
No spirit of the child's forgotten past
I
feel the need to draw the shades
And drown you in the light
Make you taste the fragrant wine
You poured those many nights
But you're caught up in this never ending
Pattern that you've etched
Afraid the chance has passed you by
Your painted canvas set
When I see you now
After all these years
All the fire is gone
Only sadness in your tears
But you showed me the promise
Now you don't seem to care
You're just crying colours
You're running scared
You’re running scared…
Faded shadows from the past
Colours of the dye you never cast
You live your life in black and white
You're comfortable at last
Tell me is it easier to live life in the past
When I see you now
After all these years
All the fire is gone
Only sadness in your tears
But you showed me the promise
Now you don't seem to care
You're just crying colours
You're running scared…
