When Your Colours Go

Intro: | | Verse: 1 I am the colour of an autumn flurry of leaves in a breeze for you And I am a study in hues of grey and the blue of a broken day for you Oh the hurry, the press of your body in the embers of an afternoon Now I spend my money on something stupid, trying to believe I belong to you Oh when the colours go, when the colours go they won't come back You strip me right, you strip them right out so maybe you would welcome that And I don't know where your colours go, but if your colours go I won't come back I won't come back, but maybe you would welcome that Interlude: | | | Verse: 2 Oh we linger in the cold comfort of each other in your bedroom And we are the colour of something borrowed, trying to believe we're something new And oh when the colours go, when the colours go they won't come back You strip me right, you strip them right out so maybe you would welcome that And I don't know where your colours go, but when your colours go I won't come back You strip me right, you strip me right out so maybe you would welcome that I won't come back, but maybe you would welcome that Bridge And in this garden we were barely kept So maybe more should be less We're only antique blooms, on an unmade bed And oh when your colours go, when your colours go I won't come back You strip me right, you strip them right out so maybe you would welcome that And I don't know where your colours go, but when your colours go they won't come back You strip me right, you strip me right out so maybe you would welcome that And I don't know where your colours go, but when your colours go they won't come back They don't come back, and maybe you would welcome that Interlude: | | | Outro And I am the colour of an autumn flurry of leaves in a breeze for you And I am a study in hues of grey and the blue of a broken day for you
