Lyrics
Verse 1:
No I can't see the color; that you see on a white Auerbach
But I've not giv'n up on it and I won't 'til I see more than black
Short Instrumental
Verse 2:
And I can't see the sunshine, on a cloudy day that you can see
But I can tell you one thing; underneath it all I do believe
Chorus:
And, oh, I can see such pain and it makes me wonder
Oh, I can see such pain it just makes me wonder
Instrumental
No I can't see the color, that you see on a white Auerbach
But I can feel the weight of it all, and I'm afraid it might fall on its back
(Turn around)
And, oh, I can see such pain and it makes me wonder
And, oh, I can see such pain it just makes me wonder
Instrumental
I can help you to see
While you help me believe
For the color you see is the hope in reality
Instrumental
And, oh, I can see such pain and it makes me wonder
And, oh, I can see such pain it just makes me wonder
But, oh I can see your face and it has such color
But, oh I can see your face and it shines like summer
