Watercolours

Came down from the mountain
 Crossed the waters to a foreign shore
 Sat down by the kitchen
 Spying through the open door
 Walked around the prison yard
 Just trying to hide the past
 There were families all around me now
 That left my mind aghast
 And the rain came and washed away
 The watercolors of my dreams
 And the same day, I walked away
 From the emptiness of what I'd seen
 I couldn't share your sorrow
 Or cleanse you with my tears
 Your half-full guiding notions
 Of love were insincere
 And the rain came and washed away
 The watercolors of my dreams
 And the same day, I walked away
 From the emptiness of what I'd seen
 I guess it's not that easy
 It really seems unreal
 The thunder of my emotion
 Lying cold as steel
 And the rain came and washed away
 The watercolors of my dreams
 And the same day, I walked away
 From the emptiness of what I'd seen
