The colours of your wings
They were faded
And hung by the sides of your jeans

In this shadow
The story untold
Of a girl who'd forgotten her dreams

The words on your lips
They sat so neatly
Spoke with a perfect restraint
In their record
A longing unfolds
Of a voice that was never heard
So I listened to every word

Now I will never leave
Despite these words
And all of the tides around us
So you can spread your wings
And all of your colours
Will light up the skies above us, oh
And all of your colours
Will light up the skies

Collect your thoughts and your things
We'll be gone by the light of the morning
So don't you ever give up
'Cause I will never give in
Where there's hope there is strength to begin

I will never leave
Despite these words
And all of the tides around us
So you can spread your wings
And all of your colours
Will light up the skies above us, oh

And all of your colours
And all of your colours
Will light up the skies

The colours of your wings
They were jaded
The hour lie your greener grass, girl
So I bought you a brush
And I stood back to watch
A woman then color her world

I will never leave
Despite these words
And all of the tides around us
So you can spread your wings
And all of your colours
Will light up the skies above us
And all of your colours
And all of your colours
Will light up the sky
Will light up the sky
