Light a Shade (1993) - Fra Lippo Lippi

Yesterday I came home early and found her laying on my bed She was down on her knees boy just giving you hell You turned to me and saw that hurt look in my eyes What you saw there was no big surprise Well as you got off I heard you say What the Lord giveth The Lord taketh away Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue After kicking you out I turned on the evening news The anchorman was talking about disaster without no clues The film was rolling on the background screen behind his head My mom and dad's plane was grounded the hard way instead As the plane crashed down I heard him say What the Lord giveth The Lord taketh away Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Everybody is always trying to tell me that hard times are just the Lord's will Well I believe No I know That I can overcome any obstacle And choose my own destiny Nobody is going to tell me what to do with my life Not my parents Not my teachers Not you And not your fucking god And do you know why It's because I don't have to do anything but stay white and die That's right You heard me Ha Well the preacher walked up I heard him say What the Lord giveth The Lord taketh away Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue

There's a lot of colours I don't know where to go I see a lot of colours Only feeling blue There's a lot of colours Lost within a haze Don't rely on others To get you through the maze The dreams are not the same for me Standing by the shore While you're on the open sea Can not take this anymore There are a lot of voices Drowning in the sea There's too many voices Talking back at me There are a lot of choices Waiting to be made Too many choices Making me afraid The dreams are not the same for me Standing by the shore While you're on the open sea Can not take this anymore The dreams are not the same for me Standing by the shore While you're on the open sea Can not take this anymore A certain shade of blue Will always remind me of you Trying to figure out How I'm supposed to get through The dreams are not the same for me Standing by the shore While you're on the open sea Can not take this anymore The dreams are not the same for me Standing by the shore While you're on the open sea Can not take this anymore Can not take this anymore Can not take this anymore

Some people will do anything for you Some people even think they own you, too Some people like to think they know it all Some people just don't see it when they fall Tell me why, tell me why There's no sun in your sky Tell me why, tell me why There's no love in your eyes Tell me why, tell me why There's no sun in your sky Tell me why, tell me why There's no love in your eyes Sometimes I want to to scream and shout at you Sometimes I want to sing my joy to you Sometimes I want to leave it all behind Sometimes I don't know where to start at all No so tell me why, tell me why There's no sun in your sky Tell me why, tell me why There's no love in your eyes Tell me why, tell me why There's no sun in your sky Tell me why, tell me why There's no love in your eyes Tell me why, tell me why There's no sun in your sky Tell me why, tell me why There's no love in your eyes Tell me why, tell me why There's no sun in your sky Tell me why, tell me why There's no love in your eyes Tell me why, tell me why There's no sun in your sky Tell me why, tell me why There's no love in your eyes

Where is my thoughts and inspiration And where are all the good intentions I can't express myself no longer Strangled by lies and disbelief Well I need time to see more clearly To recognize the things gone missing In times like these I have no answer Nothing to say at all I'm coming home, I'm coming home I'm going back where I belong (Now)I'm coming home, I'm coming home I'm going back where I belong I know exactly what it means To find another way of living And now I start to realize It; s not too late for new beginnings All the callers gather here As if to wave the sun goodbye All the winds are blowing here Just to make me wonder why Repeat
