A Colourful Past - Lorne Balfe

More than I had in mind More than I wish I knew And now it's near on me Some rush of red fear And my worst old times look fine from here I know you walked this route And you might help me out You said what's done is done I can't turn the hand 'round But still it looks a long way down Oh man, was it that much better then? We were left alone, we were proud of our pain And so I want to walk out in the night See the wide young river flood rain We're not on one straight line I made my own way through And when the track goes cold I'll know that it's true That rebirth won't work like it used to And oh man, was it that much better then? We were left alone, we were proud of our pain And so I want to walk out in the night See the wide young river flood rain And I can't let go of a lot I've left I'm holding nothing but what I kept And it all got dimmer each passing step And I need you with me, and you read the writ Are you now insisting? Is it not worth it? But I've got no option I inherited this and I overcome That's that, we're a long way from the past I'll be better off in a year or in two

Something new that you've started inside of me You light me up, I feel the fire burning You take control, you want to get away Somewhere private, just you and me In my t-shirt, she's a beauty queen Don't need no makeup, she's my everything Tonight she asks what she thinks of me I lay back, honestly Your blue eyes look at me Your blonde hair covers me Your red lips are making life So colourful, so beautiful My whole world was black and white I can't wait to do it right Your blue eyes making life So colourful, so beautiful Something real that I can't bear to loose You're my diamond, I finally found you I was searching all of my life Then I stumbled in the rough and you were mine (Hey) Now, making me feel like I'm in clouds Never knew love was this loud Dancing all night to the bass drum Singing at the top of my lungs Your blue eyes look at me Your blonde hair covers me Your red lips are making life So colourful, so beautiful My whole world was black and white I can't wait to do it right Your blue eyes making life So colourful, so beautiful (So colourful, so beautiful) Your blue eyes look at me Your blonde hair covers me Your red lips are making life So colourful, so beautiful My whole world was black and white I can't wait to do it right Your blue eyes making life So colourful, so beautiful So colourful, so beautiful Your blue eyes making life So colourful, so beautiful
