Enchant - Colors Fade (acoustic) lyrics

[Music - P. Craddick, D. Ott / Lyrics - D. Ott] The gray light of the morning, the blue-green of the sea A leaf splashed with color, falling from a tree The sparkle in a diamond, the fire of the sun They all seemed much brighter, am I the only one To see them slowly slip away Something changes a little, day by day Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color fades The blush of a woman, the wamth of a touch The novelty of love, feelings within my clutch I try to savor but it doesn't taste the same Senses numbed and jaded a little day by day Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color... ..fades away slowly but surely as if it were the setting sun A child comes of age, gains life experience Time gathers innocence and trades it in for wisdom Like walking through the snow its purity is stained Like a shooting star across the sky never meant to remain... Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color fades
