ONE NEW COLOR
[Verse]
White or black she turns them back
showing me there are three
colors that once were chosen
to divide mankind's dream.
Two came from a prism fallen
through the skin of ripened fruit.
The other shows its face in myths
and the charts the ancients used.
The first drop left me wanting more
so I left my house in time
to follow her through dog wood trees
where their sap ran through my eyes.
[Chorus]
She layed me down just in time
to see color magnified.
One more day to see like this.
One new color of confluence.
She gave me water that soon went dry.
I'll live off sand humus this time.
Ain't it funny when love becomes sin?
One new color to see it in.
[Verse]
She had wrinkles on her back
from laying on the sheets.
Hers grew like tree branches
mine looked like disease.
When I rose there was salt leaking
from the corner of my eyes.
I tried not to scratch them
so I wouldn't lose the sight.
I was in the heart of the woods
and time was running out for me.
Never met such a fine person
as the one who dropped the seed.
[Chorus]
She lays me down in time,
to see color magnified.
Ain't it funny to be blessed with sin?
One new color to spend it in.
She gave me water in the evening time,
just as I was passing by.
One more day in the color of bends.
One new color I see again.
