True Colours (The Storm) Songtext
von Squeeze

Oh-oh-oh

To be running so far away
To rely on a perfect stranger
True colors, they suffer with age
One look at the storm and fly
Straight on into the rain and thunder
Fool lovers swept under the tide

A storm was gathering around them
He cast her off and put to sea
While he found somebody new
To steer him through his dreams
She sailed him all around her coastline
Every inlet, every bay
And though he knew it then
He was too afraid to say


To be running so far away
To rely on a perfect stranger
True colors, they suffer with age
One look at the storm and fly
Straight on into the rain and thunder
Fool lovers swept under the tide
Swept under the tide

One day all alone, he waited
Silence crept beneath his door
And as the room grew dark
He knew she′d come no more

To be running so far away
To rely on a perfect stranger
True colors, they suffer with age
One look at the storm and fly
Straight on into the rain and thunder
Fool lovers swept under the tide

Drifting in the dead of night
Show me land, forgive me, life


(Trailing in the dead of night)
To be running so far away
To rely on a perfect stranger
True colors, they suffer with age
(Show me land, forgive me, life)
One look at the storm and fly
Straight on into the rain and thunder
Fool lovers swept under the tide
Swept under the tide
