In Colour

(album: Keep You On Your Toes! - 2009)

The rocket that sits in my garage
It runs on hopes and dreams
And it's bursting at the seams to get out of this town now!
I've got a map of the universe and don't know where to go first
But I'll bring back a souvenir

Here, I thought that I was sleeping with eyes closed tight
And somehow, I'd be dreaming in broad daylight
(I have to wonder)

Here I am, a hopeful rocketeer
With space exploration gear
There's room enough for two
That's why I'm glad I found you here!
We'll go to Jupiter and Mars
Far above the roads and cars
So high up in the air

Here, I thought that I was floating down..

And sleeping with eyes closed tight
And somehow, I'd be dreaming in broad daylight
And when I dream about you so late at night

That's when I dream in colour so true and bright (that I have to wonder)

Late nights spent on the avenue
Bright lights illuminate the city view
The air is clear and you can see for miles around
So high above the earth's atmosphere
Gravity can no longer hold me captive here
When I'm awake all I think about is seeing your town

I thought that I was hearing a symphony
Filled with strings that played in twelve part harmony
And everywhere I go they follow me
Through the air they play in colour that you can see!

Here, I thought that I was sleeping with eyes closed tight
And somehow, I'd be dreaming in broad daylight
And when I dream about you so late at night
That's when I dream in colour so true and bright (that I have to wonder)
