Watercolours Songtext
von Philip Lewin

Came down from the mountain
Crossed the waters to a foreign shore
Sat down by the kitchen
Spying through the open door

Walked around the prison yard
Just trying to hide the past
There were families all around me now
That left my mind aghast

And the rain came and washed away
The watercolors of my dreams
And the same day, I walked away
From the emptiness of what I′d seen


I couldn't share your sorrow
Or cleanse you with my tears
Your half-full guiding notions
Of love were insincere

And the rain came and washed away
The watercolors of my dreams
And the same day, I walked away
From the emptiness of what I′d seen

I guess it's not that easy
It really seems unreal
The thunder of my emotion
Lying cold as steel

And the rain came and washed away
The watercolors of my dreams
And the same day, I walked away
From the emptiness of what I'd seen
