Colour and Shape

[Verse 1]

Down here in New Orleans, prayin' for holy water

To rain on down, rain on down on me

I got to tell you how I feel

And I don't care as long as it's a side that's real

[Chorus]

Like a dark cloud that casts no shade

Seven days pass I still pray for rain

I want to see things my way;

I will add colour and the shape

[Verse 2]

Now I'm frozen in time, bound by convictions

Obey the trust - things I learned long ago

Please now spare me, spare me your old folklore

All I really want are things they were before

[Chorus]

Like a dark cloud that casts no shade

Seven days pass I still pray for rain

I want to see things my way;

I will add the colour and the shape

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Like a dark cloud that casts no shade

Seven days pass I still pray for rain, for rain

I want to see things my way;

I will be who I am and see things my way; yeah eah

I will add the colour and the shape
