Colours Run - Colours Run lyrics

You don't pay the rent

You don't know how it feels

To be one step from poverty

But when I'm alone

I smile to myself

Though the room is draped in shadow

And I draw with the sun

'Cos in the night, colours run

And this fight had hardly begun

Now it's over

And I am the boat

No one upon me floats

And I am the tree

Nothing grows under me

I draw with the sun

'Cos in the night, colours run

And this life had hardly begun

Now it's over

And I wait in the rain

As you leave on your train

It's so long till we meet again

And I'll miss you

And I'll haunt you

But I am the boat

I am the boat
