Lyrics
Skies of grays
Are just like sunny days
As long as Lila stays
In my life.
When I'm blue
You know she sees me through
As only she can do,
She's my life.
Lila combing her hair
(Little spark in the dark),
Her arms held up high in the air --
No vision anyone can mention can compare.
None can compare.
And when the leaves of brown
Come tumbling to the ground,
I know Spring can be found
In her kiss.
Winter's white
Becomes a soft warm sight
In Lila's firelight
When we kiss.
Lila reading a book:
Hard to gauge, turns the page,
Then turns back for one more look --
No vision anyone can mention can compare.
None can compare.
And that's how I can stand
The crimson lies of man
Because in Lila's hands
I find truth.
She's my truth.
