Every Colour You Are
I touched his hand
Burned like coal
Put pay to the devil
And saw the mountain fall
Feel like crying
The jokes gone to far
You can be anything you want
Every colour you are
Family man
His patience tried
Put a torch to his home
And warmed his hands by the fire
No greed no desire
My roads uncrossed
White lined and tarred
By believing in you
Every colour you are
Riverman
I see your eyes light up like fire
It's medicine to me
But as the hunted live their lives
You're keeping out of reach
So I keep running, falling
Till I reach the water
Run with me holyman
But when I reach out
I find I'm standing right beside her
Now we're living
Blessed with all the thunder in the world
Now, should you ask me to come home
To wake up from the sleep
Like a boat inside a storm
Is there no hope for me?
So I keep running, falling
Wade into the water
Run with me riverman
But when I reach out
I find I'm standing right beside her
Now we're living
Blessed with all the thunder in the world
