Erica Mulkey - In Pinks and Golds lyrics

My many admirers bring me flowers But I spend my nights alone They promise me diamond rings I prefer to wear rhinestones It's your light on my face Your carefully chosen hues You know the stories behind my words You know me far beyond my queues But the loneliest place is on this pedestal All these eyes upon me and I just want you Limn me in pinks and golds and reds The colors of the flowers they send Bathe me in the softest warmth In this secret duet we perform I don't need any more roses or rings But I need the stage like I need air I lament the distance But you and I both need me here Limn me in pinks and golds and reds The colors of the flowers they send Bathe me in the softest warmth In this secret duet we perform Are you just a beacon? Or are you home? If you only asked me I would go and come Are you just a beacon? Or are you home? If you only asked me I would go and come All the wants and shoulds and maybes Of my idiot heart are not what you want to hear Can you bear it one more time? Illuminate the longing I feel Are you just a beacon? Or are you home? If you only asked me I would go and come Limn me in pinks and golds and reds The colors of the flowers they send Bathe me in the softest warmth In this secret duet we perform Are you just a beacon? Or are you home? If you only asked me I would go and come
