lyrics

Wander these rooms in search of an answer to a quest of mine
I cried and I tried to find what to do with all this open time
But I'm slurring my personal words so let's talk about the weather now--
Not even March and it's looking like spring
Ground thawing out and birds starting to sing their morning songs

Heart aches abound though they've got no reason
to dwell in this house of ours--
I love you with all of the self I possess and the rest of me loves you more
But I'm slurring my personal words so let's talk about the colors now--
It's white and it's blue and it's green and it's grey
The harbor changes its light and its hue every hour of the day

And the wilds are open in all our minds
We've been caught in a cycle of concrete and steel but we still have time
City grey can make way
For verdant light
The colors now are full, the colors now are full
The colors now are fuller than they were
Before you my love

Yours are the hands that I wait for
Yours are the eyes that steady my soul
And your heart was the one mine cried out for
All of those nights when I was alone
But I'm slurring my personal words so let's talk about
Oh anything now
The colors are full
Oh all of the light is wild, it's bright
The colors now are full

Really enjoyed these songs; kudos and thanks. The liner notes amplified the experience for me (both wonderful and that Chris Doyle has a way with both words and keyboards.) Oy! What a cover design! Matthew Schwach
