From the recording THIS CUP
Lyrics
COLOR ME SURPRISED
Someday, my girl will leave
And bathe my brain in blue.
Someday, my girl will leave;
Make my bad dreams come true.
Each day, dark thoughts do stay
And brush my back in black.
Each day, dark thoughts do stay
To plan their next attack.
Well, you can dress the sky in darkness;
Yes, you can cover up the skies.
You can paint the world in blackness –
Just don’t color me surprised.
Someday, the Lord will come
And wash the world in white.
Someday, the Lord will come,
But it won’t be tonight.
Each day, dark thoughts do stay
And brush my back in black.
Each day, dark thoughts do stay
And plan their next attack.
Well, you can dress the sky in darkness;
Yes, you can cover up the skies.
You can paint the world in blackness –
Just don’t color me surprised.
