There used to be a time when I saw you in black in white
And our life felt like us against the mountain
The two shades in my mind were just a fraction of what my eyes
Gazed upon, just a puddle beside a fountain
With each passing day I find another shade of grey
Present itself within your composition
As the sharp lines start to fade the crystal image turns to haze
And my heart moves from thoughts to intuition
CHORUS:
We keep turning around, getting lost and then we get found
Then break down and start the turning all again
In the colorful daze you find inside the spinning maze
Black and white shows you where to begin
‘Cause everything turns black and white when it ends
I sat next to a man who had a barstool and a plan
For breaking out and leaving us all behind him
The cracked lines of his hands reveal the passage of the sand
Through the hourglass. Will his moment ever find him?
Looking in his eyes I saw that he still had some fight left inside
But he was stuck up on the sidelines
And in those eyes were mine, after thirty more years of time
Have passed me by, will I know what I am trying to find?
CHORUS:
There used to be a time when I saw you in black in white
And our life felt like us against the mountain
The two shades in my mind were just a fraction of what my eyes
Gazed upon, just a puddle beside a fountain
CHORUS:
