Marillion

Marillion are a British rock band, formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, in 1979. Their recorded studio output since 1982 is composed of seventeen albums generally regarded in two distinct eras, delineated by the departure of original frontman Fish in late 1988, and the subsequent arrival of replacement Steve Hogarth in early 1989. All four albums released with Fish were commercial successes, and the band released eleven Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart, including 1985's "Kayleigh", which reached No. 2 and became their biggest hit single. more »

The different shades of white 
Are in my head tonight 
What happened to the colours of fire? 
What happened to the colours? 

She is painting forty different shades of white 
On white paper 
On white paper 
Glowing happiness arrived the day 
Baby came to stay 
And all is well in the new world 

I, on the other hand, 
Can't seem to settle down 
My eyes hurry not to see her falling away from me 

I'm painting forty different shades of green 
For all I'm worth, on yesterday's paper 
But innocence is never news 
The black keeps bleeding through 
Only to reveal our worldly blues 

Doesn't seem so long since we were young 
Oh, when we were young 
When we were young 

I see families walking in the park 
Who seem quite happy to live this way 
She asks me, What's the matter darling? 
You're suddenly grey. You don't look well 
The arms of another 
It's my idea of hell 

So shout if you find a way back to the light and air 
Laughing and changing the subject 
Ain't gonna get you there 

The different shades of white 
Fill my head tonight 
What happened to the colours? 
What happened to the colours? 

The different shades of white 
Are everywhere tonight 
What happened to the colours of fire? 

I used to be centre-stage 
Time I should act my age 
And watch from the shadowed wings 
All these beautiful things 
All these beautiful things 

Even now 
My eyes that hurry to see no more are painting, painting 
Faces of my lost girl
