Yesterday I was a young boy
Searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted
Living life from day to day
Till you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain
Feels like coloured rain
Tastes like coloured rain
Bring on coloured rain
Yeah!
I can see a sail of changing
Filling with surprise
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes
Till you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain
Searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted
Living life from day to day
Till you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain
Feels like coloured rain
Tastes like coloured rain
Bring on coloured rain
Yeah!
I can see a sail of changing
Filling with surprise
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes
Till you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain
