I painted a picture of your heart
And hung it in the lobby
It's on show for everybody
I made the frame with acorns dipped in gold
They were held together
By an eagle feather
The picture stayed just the same
But in your eyes I see you changed
That's why I'm crying colours
Turning tears to light
I'm crying colours
To make the picture right
I'm crying colours tonight
I live every moment that we've had
When I see that picture
It's funny how life hits you
I would pick up the brush
And paint again
A new one to replace it
But darling could we face it?
Or I could place it on public display
But would you attend the opening day?
I'm crying colours
Turning tears to light (I can't turn away)
I'm crying colours
To make the picture right (I can't turn away)
I'm crying colours tonight
Do you really want me to hide that picture away?
It wasn't painted to save it for a rainy day!
I keep on I'm crying colours
Turning tears to light (I can't turn away)
I'm crying colours
To make the picture right (I can't turn away)
I'm crying colours, crying colours
I'm crying colours tonight (I can't turn away)
I'm crying colours tonight
