Indigo is blue like the you of me or you
Ebony is darker than the deepest
Emerald like the water we swam in for a while
To a man of many colors i give word
He's a charmer, my man of many colors
He sings till hours take him well past midnight
His indigo in evenin' skies, ebony on moonless night
But he's emerald, come the morning through the window, ooh
Indigo is blue like the you of me or you
Ebony is darker than the deepest
Emerald like the water we swam in for a while
To a man of many colors i give word
Amidst the gold there is dust in every heart
And in the blue there is a web of tangled thoughts
Oh, how the crystals mix with shards of broken glass
We tried to take the danger from the plight of crimson red
But all left stare me blindly through the colors and the frog
Indigo is blue like the you of me or you
Ebony is darker than the deepest
Emerald like the water we swam in for a while
To a man of many colors i give word
By the light of a match, i caught the colors in my hand
And the sun threw this old stone
It is red on jam, amber, blue and violet
Like graffiti, scattered leaves dropped the cold mat, ooh
Indigo is blue like the you of me or you
Ebony is darker than the deepest
Emerald like the water we swam in for a while
To a man of many colors i give word
To a man of many colors i give word
To a man of many colors i give word
