my coloring book

Lyrics

for those who fancy coloring books, as certain people do, here's a new one for you, a most unusual coloring book, the kind you never see, crayons ready, very well, begin to color me, these are the eyes that watched him, as he walked away, color them gray, this is the heart that thought, he would always be true, color it blue, these are the arms that held him, and touched him then lost him somehow, color them empty now, these are the beads i wore, until she came between, color them green, this is the room i sleep in, walk in and weep in, hide in that nobody sees, color it lonely, please, this is the man, the one i depended upon, color him gone.
