Robert Plant - Colour of a Shade lyrics

rate me

The day was old, the light was dim

As I stepped through the door And all my friends were gathering

That day that I recall I shivered and shook, Lord I stook

Just waiting to chase the fall I wondered how my time would be

When spring comes round, once more I face the wind, I have no choice

But you must guard the heart And cast adrift from those I love

Alone I drag my heart Against the cry of why

I turn my back to go But out beyond the tears somewhere

Someone, I need to know It's only love, in the colours of the shade

It's only love-ove, in the colours of the shade All in shades, ah, it's only love

Old photographs were fading dim My seed will tell it all

Oh by the Fathers Fathers have Such pain, on ...

They read the signs without surprise Of how they knew it well

And in the mirror still I see The man, who came from hell

It's only love, and the colours of the shade It's only love, in the colours of the shade

It's only love, in the colours of the shade They say, they say, they say

It's only love, it's only love
