My Coloring Book

(album: The End Of The World - 1963)

In case you fancy coloring books
And lots of people do
I've a new one for you

A most unusual coloring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready, very well
Begin to color me

These are the eyes
That watched him as he walked away
Color them grey

This is the heart
That thought he would always be true
Color it blue

These are the eyes
That held him and touched him
Then lost him somehow
Color them empty now

These are the beads I wore
Until she came between
Color them green

This is the room I sleep in
And walk in and weep in
And hide in that nobody sees
Color it lonely, please

This is the man
The one I depended upon
Color him gone
