Colour in Grey Lyrics

it's a hard one to swallow
we're like moths to the flame
if we stay by the fire, love
we'll burn round the edges again
yeah the flicker will tempt us
and the heat keeps us in
but the sting of the fever
won't let our hearts cool or be dimmed

like a watered down drink
i'd know on first taste
like a ship bound to sink
oh the captain will brave
i know in my heart
if our love starts to fade
we'll find color in grey
it's a hard road to follow
with today on our back
with yesterdays sorrow
tomorrow may fall from the tracks

but we can sail through the wreckage
catch the past off it's guard
bring a flame to the cinders
to find our way back through the dark
like a watered down drink
i'd know on first taste
like the last sinking ship
the captain will brave
i know in my heart
if our love starts to fade
we'll find colour in grey
