You Came Throwing Colors - Tom Paxton

You came throwing colours

All around my blacks and greys

While I stood in wonder you just opened up my days

Let me tell you what you did to me

I wanna shout the news

You came throwing colours 'round my blues

You came throwing colours 'round my blues

Makes me wonder how I got

The way I used to be

Something in my head

Just simply made a mess of me

Then you told me love was possible

And you told me I was free

You came throwing colours 'round my blues

You came throwing colours

All around my blacks and greys

While I stood in wonder you just opened up my days

Let me tell you what you did to me

I wanna shout the news

You came throwing colours 'round my blues

You came throwing colours 'round my blues

Oh, I would sit for hours

Never noticing the sky

Chances came and went

You know, I let them scurry by

Then you told me love was possible

You made me want to try

You came throwing colours 'round my blues

Oh, you came throwing colours

All around my blacks and greys

While I stood in wonder you just opened up my days

Let me tell you what you did to me

I wanna shout the news

You came throwing colours 'round my blues

You came throwing colours 'round my blues

You came throwing colours 'round my blues

You came throwing colours 'round my blues
