paroles de chanson Man Of Colours - ICEHOUSE

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
And takes a moment to watch the view
From a window nobody knows is 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
And when I speak to this faded 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 the years
Years 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 these tears
Tears of a man
A man of colours

And he says, I
I am a man
A man of colours
