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 stood 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, in the colours of the shade

Old photographs were fading dim - my seed will tell it all
And by the fathers´ fathers´ hands such pain on all was raw

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
