colors

you've been far away from me

another land across the sea

and all this time my heart's been breaking

just waiting round and aching

for a letter or a telegram

telling me how sweet i am

you swear your heart will never roam

so til you come back home

i'll wear your colors my dear

until you're standing right here

next to the one who adores you

whose heart is beating for you

like a lighthouse guides a shipwrecked sailor safely from the sea

i'll wear your colors til you come back home to me

i'm hoping you return the glow

i'm just making sure you know

that no matter how

no matter when

you come back to me

you'll realize this love is strong

as it has been all along

for miles and miles can't come between

the kind of love we've seen

i'll wear your colors my dear

until you're standing right here

next to the one who adores you

whose heart is beating for you

like a lighthouse guides a shipwrecked sailor safely from the sea

i'll wear your colors til you come back home to me

i'll wear your colors my dear

until you're standing right here

next to the one who adores you

whose heart is beating for you

like a lighthouse guides a shipwrecked sailor safely from the sea

i'll wear your colors til you come back home to me

i'll wear you colors til you come back home to me

i'll wear you colors til you come back home to me
