Of Many Colors - Alela Diane

Indigo is blue like the you of me or you

Ebony is darker than the deepest

Emerald like the water we swam in for a while

To a man of many colors I give word

He’s a charmer, my man of many colors

He sings till hours take him well past midnight

His indigo in evenin' skies, ebony on moonless night

But he’s emerald, come the morning through the window, ooh

Indigo is blue like the you of me or you

Ebony is darker than the deepest

Emerald like the water we swam in for a while

To a man of many colors I give word

Amidst the gold there is dust in every heart

And in the blue there is a web of tangled thoughts

Oh, how the crystals mix with shards of broken glass

We tried to take the danger from the plight of crimson red

But all left stare me blindly through the colors and the fog

Indigo is blue like the you of me or you

Ebony is darker than the deepest

Emerald like the water we swam in for a while

To a man of many colors I gave word

By the light of a match, I caught the colors in my hand

And the sun threw this old stone

It is red on jam, amber, blue and violet

Like graffiti, scattered leaves dropped the cold mat, ooh

Indigo is blue like the you of me or you

Ebony is darker than the deepest

Emerald like the water we swam in for a while

To a man of many colors I gave word

To a man of many colors I gave word

To a man of many colors I gave word
