It seems to me
You must be slightly colour-blind
So I’ve been telling you white lies
You cannot see
Either that reddened cheek of mine
Or this dark green of my eye
Caused by the wordless fear
My fearless words befriend
Like a tuneless song
A horseless carousel
What a brave coward I am
I’ll see you round the bend
The day is gone
A nightly mist is falling
Over a hundred white lies
I wish you sensed
The pounding of my heart
And the sparkle in my eye
Caused by the wordless fear
My fearless words befriend
Like a tuneless song
A horseless carousel
What a brave coward I am
I’ll see you round the bend
It seems to me
You must be slightly colour-blind
So I’ll keep on telling white lies
You cannot see
But you may hear between these lines
What I’m white-lying about
Despite the wordless fear
My fearless words befriend
The wordless fear
My fearless words befriend
Like a tuneless song
A horseless carousel
What a brave coward I am
I’ll see you around the bend
