The Color Song (i Lost My Love)

The Color Song (i Lost My Love)
(life lost its color when i lost my love)
white's for the wedding that i'll never see blue is for heartaches that she gave to me
green were those two eyes that stole her away
gray were the darks skies on that tragic day
black was the gun that i drew from my side
red fload the blood where's my false lover's died
brown was the earth neath the grey skies above life lost its color when i lost my love
black was the cloak on the old judge that day
white was my face when he said you must pay
blue were the tears that i shed in myself red are the roses that other folks dwell
gold was my hair when they first sentenced me it will be silver when they set me free
gone is the rainbow that shone up above life lost its color when i lost my love
life lost its color when i lost my love
