Watercoloured Days Lyrics

I watch colours that fade
And it breaks my mind
Waiting as darkness falls
So my eyes can be blind
All my dreams have gone bad
And no-one can help me
It's hard to understand why
Everything must fade away

Like watercolour days, a misty haze
When that girl was mine now she's gone away,
It's over
Dead like the leaves on the trees
When the Summer's gone
For how was I to say
What she could or could not do, and
I have become a Watercolour Man

I watched Smokey grow old
And it broke my mind
Watching his colours fade
As he ran out of time
All his dreams had gone bad
And no-one could help him
It's hard to understand why
Everything must fade away
