Way Back Home

I always dream in color
But soon forget
Time turns my yesterdays all black and white
But you know
There's a special place time
Just can't erase
A place this monochrome
Must never know

But tonight
Deep in my darkest nightmare
Of dead despair
I saw the colors slow, so slowly draining

Wake me up
Hold me in the dead of night
The darkness has me dead to rights
So tell me I'll be fine
That I'll find a way to smile
That the colors will return
And I will find
I will find my way back home
Somehow I'll find my way back home

I try to paint in color
But as you know
A rainbow must succumb
To the dark of night
So you see
When the light is dying
I'm terrified
To find my colors not
Return this time

And the light is failing

Wake me up
Hold me in the dead of night
The darkness has me dead to rights
So tell me I'll be fine
That I'll find a way to smile
That this darkness won't go on
And on and on and on

Wake me up
Hold me in the dead of night
The darkness has me dead to rights
So tell me I'll be fine
That I'll find a way to smile
That the colors will return
One day and I
I will find my way back home
Somehow I'll find a way
To make my way back home
