The colors are faded, the shadows half gone Still eating breakfast with all the lights on Closed all the windows, 'cause they're of no use Three months of darkness is nothing to lose For just one look at you Don't want to hole up or make friends with the moon Or take in her colors, the purple and blues I'm on a journey that I didn't choose You're taking your time and I'm one lucky fool To get just one look at you The crickets and fireflies are my makeshift lovers at night They kiss me and tell me I'm pretty But I'll still be dreaming of daylight I'm on a journey that I didn't choose You're taking your time and I'm one lucky fool
