A Vivid Monochrome

Moments
Frozen in time
Pages of pictures from a life
A grey so sublime

Drawn to a world of monochrome design
Half-remembered days play like actors on a stage
There is a meaning behind the tales they tell themselves
The light which they borrow comes from somewhere else

Dancing in a pallid shadow, a gleam of indigo
The feeling of a long [Am]summer's twilight, sepia
A lover's embrace bathed in ɾegal ɾed and [Bm]gold
Color burns into [C7]an image of a time before, a time of its own

I stir from within
for [Dm7]I'll never be [Am]without
A world painted
from a well of color

A violet sunset shimmers over a field of green
Emerald waves across the mountainside
Feeling swept away, they will not be [Am]denied
Whether or not they are my [A]own, I cannot define

A vivid monochrome
With a life all [Em]its own
Wanting to [C7]be [Am]known
Demanding my [A]eyes fall [Em]across its brilliant form
