11 - COLORS THROUGH MY WINDOW - The Wonders

(1967 Single — The Sound Begins To Drift) (Reverse guitar swell and soft organ) Intro Ahhh… Ahhh… (Tambourine enters softly) Verse 1 Morning shadows on the wall Sunlight moving slow and small Your photograph beside the bed Still says things you never said People talking in the street But their voices feel half asleep Summer used to burn so bright Now it melts into the night Pre-Chorus And I don’t know where the time has gone Only that it keeps moving on Chorus Colors through my window Fading into gold Yesterday keeps calling From somewhere far below Colors through my window Floating through my mind Every little memory Gets harder to define Verse 2 Records spinning softly round Like they’re trying to slow time down Every song we used to know Feels like someplace I can’t go Rain falls gently on the cars Neon glowing through the dark And somewhere underneath it all I still hear your distant call Pre-Chorus Maybe nothing really stays Maybe that’s what makes us ache Chorus Colors through my window Fading into gold Yesterday keeps calling From somewhere far below Colors through my window Floating through my mind Every little memory Gets harder to define Bridge (ethereal harmonies) Ooooh… Can you hear the summer rain… Ooooh… Calling out your name… Instrumental Break (Dreamy jangly guitar + soft organ lead) Final Chorus Colors through my window Drifting out to sea Every light and every sound Still comes back to me Colors through my window Slowly disappear Like the fading echo Of another year Outro (soft repeating harmonies with organ) Colors through my window… Colors through my window…
