Lyrics

Every Colour You Are

I touched his hand

It burned like coal

I put paid to the devil

And I saw the mountain fall

Fall on

Feel like crying

The joke's gone too far

You can be anything you want

Every colour you are

A family man

His patience tried

Put a torch to his home

And warmed his hands by the fire

No greed, no desire

My road's uncrossed

White lined and tarred

By believing in you

Every colour you are
