lyrics

“Red and yellow and green and blue
Are the colours of my childish hue.

And black and white and death and tears
Are the colours of these golden years.”

He walks round the garden of his heart.
There’s nothing left here, nothing here for you.
Get your coat.

Puts on his coat and kicks the leaves
That swallow the path round his childish dreams.

The trees are dead, the water’s gone.
Not even hope can find a home.

He walks round the garden of his heart.
There’s nothing left here, nothing here for you.
Get your coat.

“Who’s this peeking at me from under the leaves?
Why it’s a little friend that I used to know.
A little snake I thought I’d lost such a long time ago.
Seems to be saying I’m not getting so old.

And I close my eyes to stifle my cries.
And I hear your voice entwined in my soul.”
