lyrics

It's the colour of sadness
It's the colour of tears
It's the colour of madness
It's the colour of fears
It's the colour of sorrow I can't make disappear
It's the colour of these years

It's the colour of anger
It's the colour of grief
It's the colour of failure
And misplaced belief
The colour of disappointment is the colour of my tears
It's the colour of these years

I'm tainted by the colour
I'm stained by the hue
I was given no cover to protect me from the truth
It painted me bitter
It left its mark so clear
In the colour of these years
