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 she could not do And I have become a Watercolour Man I watched Smoky 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 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 Watch she could or she could not do And I have become a Watercolour Man.
