Love in Motion Lyrics

There's a noise upstairs in the attic,

it's the shuffle of worn out shoes.

and the scent of the oil and brushes,

drifts down like a pale perfume.

and he says, "I...

I am a man

a Simple man,

.. a man of colours.

and I can see

see through the years

years of a man,

.. a man of colours"

and the old man rubs his failing eyes,

takes a moment to watch the view.

from a window nobody knows he's there,

he can see the empty street below.

and he says, "I...

I am a man

a Simple man,

.. a man of colours.

and I can see

see through the years

years of a man,

.. a man of colours"

he says, "I keep my life in this paintbox

I keep your face in these picture frames

when I speak to the empty canvas... it tells me...

I have no need for words anyway..."

and he says, "I...

I am a man

a Simple man,

.. a man of colours.

and I can see

see through these tears

tears of a man,

.. a man of colours"

and he says, "I...

I am a man

a Simple man,

.. a man of colours.

and I can see

see through the years

years of a man,

.. a man of colours"
