[Verse 1]
The moon pours a jug of phosphor light
Frosted glass, a window's quiet night
On a night just like this, God will see
I’ll complete the portrait of my life, you'll see
[Verse 2]
A silhouette has long been taking shape
Some sigh in awe, some shy away
Seeing the same, yet interpreting apart
The devil dips his brush, begins to start
[Chorus]
You added true colors to my life's art
Blue waves, a lava hue, green swirling hearts
[Verse 3]
And lilac, dark and full of yearning
The peach shade, tender and shyly burning
Nostalgic gray, perfectly discerning
[Verse 4]
Found pink among old letters, kept tight
Blue ribbon over heavy thoughts in flight
Stole auburn from the robin's feather
Light purple from first grape's heather
[Verse 5]
Took ocher from the candle's gleaming
Draped silk from the bow of a rogue's dreaming
Brown from the tambourine's sad tone
Crimson from the clown's nose, all alone
[Chorus]
You added true colors to my life's art
Blue waves, a lava hue, green swirling hearts

[Bridge]
And black you did not spare at all
Yet without black, white would pall
Without black, white would fall
[Verse 6]
My heart is cracked and worn
Like the bark of an old locust tree
But in your eyes, like a fawn, it dreams gently
[Verse 7]
And barely, like whispers, softly and bright
Golden ferns sprout in corners, in the night
A strand of dreams weaves into the sight
[Verse 8]
The wind idly plays with shadows near
A roar in the abyss of silence, clear
On a night just like this, God will see
I’ll complete the portrait of my life, you'll see
