There's A Noise Upstairs In The Attic

It's The Shuffle Of Worn Out Shoes

And The Scent Of The Oil And Brushes

Drifts Down Like A Pale Perfume





And He Says, "I...

I Am A Man,

A Simple Man,

...a Man Of Colours,

And I Can See

See Through The Years,

Years Of A Man,

...a Man Of Colours"





And The Old Man Rubs His Failing Eyes

And Takes A Moment To Watch The View

From A Window Nobody Knows Is There

He Can See The Empty Street Below



[chorus]



He Says, "I Keep My Life In This Paintbox

I Keep Your Face In These Picture Frames

And When I Speak To This Faded Canvas It Tells Me

I Have No Need For Words Anyway..."



[chorus]



And He Says, "I...

I Am A Man,

A Simple Man,

...a Man Of Colours,

And I Can See

See Through The Tears,

Tears Of A Man,

...a Man Of Colours"
