Lyrics

Thinking 'bout a life I knew, and
How the sky's true colour cast a spell over you
Heaven's wonder was on display
In shades of powder blue
Thinking back on a corner store, and
How the change in my pocket jangled with the changes in store
For me as I made my way
Afraid of changing more
But is it strange to attach a colour
To a moment or a sound?
To a feeling or misgiving?
To a shadow hanging round?
Photograph of a boy I knew, and
How the sky's true colour matched his pullover too
Now I catch a glimpse as he fades
In shades of powder blue
It seems time often paints
These memories on parade
For reasons I can't explain
In shades of powder blue
In shades of powder blue
In shades of powder blue
