Lyrics
If I were a canvas I would paint myself red
I'd add a touch of black for the bad things that I've said
I'd make a long blue line for all the men I've left behind
But the colour I can't find is the colour of your love
It isn't black and its not white or the colour of the night
It's not pink and it's not grey or the yellow of the day
It isn't indigo or green, it's a palette I have never seen
I want to capture the colour of your love
If I were a piece of wood I would carve myself a heart
I'd make it so strong it would never break in half
I'd cut a place in it, where only you could fit
The pattern in the grain wouldn't match the colour of your love
It isn't black and its not white or the colour of the night
It's not pink and it's not grey or the yellow of the day
It isn't indigo or green, it's a palette I have never seen
I want to capture the colour of your love
If I where a photograph I would take me in the shade
I'd keep me in a box so that I would never fade
One day you'll find me there with my rose cheeks and my golden hair
And in my eyes reflecting the colour of your love
It isn't black and its not white or the colour of the night
It's not pink and it's not grey or the yellow of the day
It isn't indigo or green, it's a palette I have never seen
I want to capture the colour of your love
