Colors

Golden beer in grimy glasses

Your eyes green as summer grass

lips so red, stars so blue

at the break of dawn, cascading hues

Watercolors color our water

with joy and tears, and sons and daughters

White was your dress

and black was my tie

We’ll paint with colors and shade with grays

’til we run out of light

Easter dresses, pink and purple

Years like rabbits, days like turtles

Orange sunsets, crimson fights

out at sea we saw the sable night

Watercolors color our water

with joy and tears, and sons and daughters

White was your dress

and black was my tie

We’ll paint with colors and shade with grays

’til we run out of light

Even if I lose all eyes to see

I’ll still sing, and we’ll still be, because…

White was your dress

and black was my tie

We’ll paint with colors and shade with grays

’til we run out of light

We’ll paint with colors and shade with grays

’til we run out of light

We’ll paint with pigments and stain with grays

’til we run out of time
