(Life lost its color when I lost my love) White's for the wedding that I'll never see Blue is for heartaches that she gave to me Green were those two eyes that stole her away Gray were the darks skies on that tragic day Black was the gun that I drew from my side Red fload the blood where's my false lover's died Brown was the earth neath the grey skies above Life lost its color when I lost my love
[ piano - guitar ] Black was the cloak on the old judge that day White was my face when he said you must pay Blue were the tears that I shed in myself Red are the roses that other folks dwell Gold was my hair when they first sentenced me It will be silver when they set me free Gone is the rainbow that shone up above Life lost its color when I lost my love Life lost its color when I lost my love
