When I looked in your eyes Felt the spirit of man Demanding more than just a smile Took a chance for a while Speaking in tongues That float us down rivers The past will remind us All colours we chose When I told you those lies Felt the spirit of love Demanding more than compromise Took a chance for a while Speaking in tongues That float us down rivers The past will remind us All colours we chose Some people say that the way that we live Is out of this place And some people say that the way that we live Is blinded by fate All colours we chose
