dreamin in color, livin in black & white þarký sözü

well there´s a cruel sun beating
where there once was a river
crops are bending in the heat
but still her dark skin shivers
when you move to the beat of hungry
it´s a slow, aching journey
she´d hide but there ain´t no shelter
she´d cry but there ain´t no pity
yet the cool of the night
reveals the spark of a sweeter life

so she´s dreamin´ in color
and livin´ in black and white
dreamin´ in color,
livin´ in stone cold black and white

sittin´ in a grey day,
leanin´ on a bright new tomorrow
some rainbow rules will make everything all rightshe ain´t about to let the blues overcome her
she´ll contend with this day to day life

she´s just dreamin´ in color,
livin´ in black and white

well it´s a gunshot dawn
here in the heart of the city
he slides closer to his mama
it´s months since they´ve seen daddy
there´s a pale light shinin´
from a bare refrigerator
by the stained, cracked plaster
by the cold radiator
but he´s sure out beyond these mean streets
there lies paradise
so he´s dreamin´ in color and livin´ in black and
white
dreamin´ in color, livin´ in stone cold black and
white
sittin´ in a grey day, leanin´ on a bright new
tomorrow
where some rainbow rules will make everything all
right
he ain´t about to let the blues overcome him
he´ll contend with this day to day life
he´s just dreamin´ in color, livin´ in black and
white
dreamin´ in color, livin´ in stone cold black and
white
sittin´ in a grey day, leanin´ on a bright new
tomorrow
where some rainbow rules will make everything all
right
they ain´t about to let the blues overcome them
they´ll contend with this day to day life
they´re just dreamin´ in color, livin´ in black and
white
dreamin´ in color, livin´ in stone cold black and
white (repeat and fade)
