lyrics

Postcard - Colour of my life

Verse (1)
Hello Mother Hello Father, I just had a morning after another night of being nineteen.
The weathers great. I’m up too late to find a job today. It seems they need experienced minds like mine
Pick a number roller a fortune tumbler. It seems it’s how it’s got to be
I made my break and even though you couldn’t understand me. I had to try, try try try

Bridge (1)
Say can I find some peace of mind!
Say can I find some peace of mind!
Say can I find some peace of mind!

Chorus (1)
It’s just the colour of the night
It’s just the colour of my life
It’s just the colour of the night. Of the night

Verse (2)
Writing home, it seems so long since I left in a hail of scorn.
Misunderstanding remains supreme.
I travel to a new land where I could make my stand.
I only wish you could understand me. It’s how it’s got to be.

Bridge (2) - short
Say can I find some peace of mind
Say can I find some peace of mind
Say can I find some peace of mind

Refrain (1)

I tried to make it, I tried to make it, in a world full of me
I tried to make it, I tried to make it in a world full of me, a world full of me
I tried to make, I tried to make it, I tried to make Yeah oh Yeah
I tried to make I tried to make in a world, world

Chorus (2)
It’s just the colour of the night
It’s just the colour of my life
It’s just the colour of the night. Of the night

Yeah
Yeah
