man of colours - icehouse lyrics

there’s a noise upstairs in the attic,
it’s the shuffle of worn out shoes.
and the scent of the oil and brushes,
drifts down like a pale perfume.
and he says, “i…
i am a man
a simple man,
. a man of colours.
and i can see
see through the years
years of a man,
. a man of colours”
and the old man rubs his failing eyes,
takes a moment to watch the view.
from a window n-body knows he’s there,
he can see the empty street below.
and he says, “i…
i am a man
a simple man,
. a man of colours.
and i can see
see through the years
years of a man,
. a man of colours”
he says, “i keep my life in this paintbox
i keep your face in these picture frames
when i speak to the empty canvas… it tells me…
i have no need for words anyway…”
and he says, “i…
i am a man
a simple man,
. a man of colours.
and i can see
see through these tears
tears of a man,
. a man of colours”
and he says, “i…
i am a man
a simple man,
. a man of colours.
and i can see
see through the years
years of a man,
. a man of colours”
