Soon shell fade away An empty promise Cast in shades of grey An image from a dream Or 50s TV screen Going colorblind I tell myself to Quit while Im behind Its more than I can bear To see her standing there And vanish in thin air
In monochrome In black and white She disappears right in front of me Like color dies in the dark In camouflage Against the night My eyestrain pales in comparison To the straining of my heart
If only I could shine A flashlight on her Pulling her inside To catch her like a ghost Entrapped forever close Right here in my hand A genie in a bottle to command Within her radiant shrine Defying space and time Her light forever mine.
