City Lights

Hold On

Black & blue 
My heart is still not over you
Red & white
I can't forget your mouth that night
Green & gold
Autumn and the summer stole
Silver & grey
without you they both look the same

Back and forth
From my bed to the front door
Right and left
The sound of your last footsteps
Lost and found
All the notes you wrote they sound
Far away
Like the night is from the day

Finally 
I threw away everything
Whistling
Along to my recordings
And you would think
That I'd forgotten everything
But in my dreams
The colors come back vividly

I have gone colorblind
Feeling so borderline crazy
I'm going crazy
Trying to figure out
How my life got so 
Black & white
Since you left my side




Black and Blue

Mary, Mary
On the contrary 
I can't find a garden to grow

Silver bells and 
Cockle shells
All they do is tell me to go

But when will you find, when will you find
My marigolds all in a row
When will you find, when will you find 
That some things you don't outgrow

Mary, Mary
Quite the mercenary 
Don't you believe in a quid pro quo

Someday maybe 
You'll quit the cliché
Give us more than a shadow show

Grow up, grow up to something golden
Get up, I don't want the perfect garden 

One maid, Two maids
Three maids, we've got it made
So don't go, don't go, don't go
Leave me my rose, oh Mary

Grow up, grow up to something golden
Get up, I don't want the perfect garden
Grow up, grow up to something golden
I don't want things perfect darling
