The Chameleon

V6

(verse1) -She called me, her man of many colours, -with a thousand chameleons beneath my skin, -each change of shade a story written deep within. -each telling of a sad and happy new begin -each reflecting pastel blues to vibrant aqua and greenish hues -like opal colours of many truths (Chorus) -O, paint me with the colours of your choice -paint me with the words of love in your voice -let me be the chameleon changing colours in your face -mix your desires and dreams and let me vanish without a trace (verse2) -my colours formed under trials and tribulations -seeking answers to love and life's many congratulations -like a chameleon forever blending, blending in to what life throws at him -for every shade reveals a scar, a lesson learned -and every road I've travelled holds a bridge I somehow burned. -with every failure comes strength, -with every breath a little more clarity, a little more depth -and though the grind of time blurs my foot print and sorrow traces, -there's a quiet strength behind my many crying faces (Chorus) -O, paint me with the colours of your choice -paint me with the words of love in your voice -let me be the chameleon changing colours in your face -mix your desires and dreams and let me vanish without a trace (Bridge) -Yes I've stumbled, fallen, and lost my way, -but through grace I've managed to camouflage and stay -to fight night and day the demons in shades of black and grey -as they beat my heart into black and blue whilst I fight for the love of you (Chorus) -O, paint me with the colours of your choice -paint me with the words of love in your voice -let me be the chameleon changing colours in your face -mix your desires and dreams and let me vanish without a trace (outro) -my colours may fade and my eyes turn with age to a cloudy white of jade -but some things in this old heart of mine will forever burn a flame -the colours of red of a bright autumn day -O, my love, and the day you moved in to stay
