Indigo is blue like the you of me or you Ebony is darker than the deepest Emerald like the water we swam in for a while To a man of many colors I give word He's a charmer, my man of many colors He sings till hours take him well past midnight His indigo in evenin' skies, ebony on moonless night But he's emerald, come the morning through the window, ooh Indigo is blue like the you of me or you Ebony is darker than the deepest Emerald like the water we swam in for a while To a man of many colors I give word Amidst the gold there is dust in every heart And in the blue there is a web of tangled thoughts Oh, how the crystals mix with shards of broken glass We tried to take the danger from the plight of crimson red But all left stare me blindly through the colors and the fog Indigo is blue like the you of me or you Ebony is darker than the deepest Emerald like the water we swam in for a while To a man of many colors I gave word By the light of a match, I caught the colors in my hand And the sun threw this old stone It is red on jam, amber, blue and violet Like graffiti, scattered leaves dropped the cold mat, ooh Indigo is blue like the you of me or you Ebony is darker than the deepest Emerald like the water we swam in for a while To a man of many colors I gave word To a man of many colors I gave word To a man of many colors I gave word
