In Colour

The rocket that sits in my garage

It runs on hopes and dreams

And it's bursting at the seams to get out of this town now!

I've got a map of the universe and don't know where to go first- But I'll bring back a souvenir

Here, I thought that I was sleeping with eyes closed tight

And somehow, I'd be dreaming in broad daylight

[I have to wonder]

Here I am, a hopeful rocketeer

With space exploration gear

There's room enough for two

That's why I'm glad I found you here!

We'll go to Jupiter and Mars

Far above the roads and cars

So high up in the air

Here, I thought that I was floating down...

And sleeping with eyes closed tight

And somehow, I'd be dreaming in broad daylight

And when I dream about you so late at night

That's when I dream in colour so true and bright

[That I have to wonder]

Late nights spent on the avenue

Bright lights illuminate the city view

The air is clear and you can see for miles around

So high above the earth's atmosphere

Gravity can no longer hold me captive here

When I'm awake all I think about is seeing your town

I thought that I was hearing a symphony

Filled with strings that played in twelve part harmony

And everywhere I go they follow me

Through the air they play in colour that you can see!

Here, I thought that I was sleeping with eyes closed tight

And somehow, I'd be dreaming in broad daylight

And when I dream about you so late at night

That's when I dream in colour so true and bright

Tthat I have to wonder]
