[Music - P. Craddick, D. Ott / Lyrics - D. Ott]
The gray light of the morning, the blue-green of the sea
A leaf splashed
with color, falling from a tree
The sparkle in a diamond, the fire of the sun
They all seemed much brighter, am I the only one
To
see them slowly slip away
Something changes a little, day by day
Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array
Staggered by
it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay
Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed
A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color
fades
The blush of a woman, the wamth of a touch
The novelty of love, feelings within my clutch
I try to savor but it doesn't
taste the same
Senses numbed and jaded a little day by day
Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array
Staggered by it's
beauty, saddened by it's modest stay
Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed
A lesson in mortality, eventually, every
color...
..fades away slowly but surely as if it were the setting sun
A child comes of age, gains life experience
Time
gathers innocence and trades it in for wisdom
Like walking through the snow its purity is stained
Like a shooting star across
the sky never meant to remain...
Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array
Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest
stay
Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed
A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color fades
