Dream In Colour

(album: Rock Of Life - 1988)

You wake up to tell me
(That you're numb inside, that the feelings all have died)
You're praying and you're saying
(That you do believe, but I don't believe that's true)
Everything has always been there, nothing goes away that won't come back
You're living in a house of cards, and you're blowing down the stack

[Chorus:]
She sleeps under a rainbow, she won't dream in colour
(She don't dream in colour)
She thinks that her soul is painted grey or black and white
Sleeping under a rainbow she could dream in colour, dream in colour
(She don't dream in colour) tonight

Glass mirror, look in (I know it's hard to see, when the one you free is you)
Sleep walking, high talking
(But the colours aren't real and the things you feel don't last)
You sit there looking at the sunrise, not knowing if the day has come or gone
You're wondering why it turns you off, when it never turns you on

[Chorus]

Picking at the lock on the front door, pulling at the shutters on the windows
But you're living in a house of shadows

[Solo]

Even tho' you're lonely you think it's you, sitting at that table set for one
You're waiting for the guest that never comes

[Chorus]

She could dream in colour, she could
(Sleeping under a rainbow, dream in colour)
[repeats out]
