Colors Fade Songtext

von Enchant

The gray light of the morning
The blue-green of the sea
A leaf splashed with color
Falling from a tree

The sparkle in a diamond
The fire of the sun
They all seemed much brighter
Am I the only one?

To see them
Slowly slip away
Something changes
A little day by day

Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array
Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay
Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed
A lesson in mortality, eventually every color fades

The blush of a woman
The warmth of a touch
The novelty of love
Feelings within my clutch

I try to savor
But it doesn't taste the same
Senses numbed and jaded
A little day by day

Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array
Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay
Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed
A lesson in mortality, eventually every color fades away

Slowly but surely
As if it were the setting sun
A child comes of age, gains life experience
Time gathers innocence and trades it in for wisdom

Like walkin' through the snow
Its purity is stained
Like a shootin' star across the sky
Never meant to remain

Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array
Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay
Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed
A lesson in mortality, eventually every color fades

Colors fade
Colors fade
Every color fades
