Are they brown? Are they green? Are they blue? Will I be stunned by the wonderful hue? Oh how I like to fantasize My future lover’s eyes Are they brown? Are they green? Are they blue? Are they brunette? scarlet? Are they blonde? For jet black curls I would surely be fond I’d run my fingers through with care My future lover’s hair Are they brunette? scarlet? Are they blonde? Will I know in a kiss, or a laugh or a glance? Will it be a hello? Will I know from a dance? When will my heart receive the cue I’ve fallen in love with you Will I know in a kiss or a laugh Brunette or scarlet Are they brown? Are they green? Are they blue?

The black is black The night is night The way of the world, the absence of light We kill our own kind, unrest in the mind We're all heading down Soul frustration, the darker days We're slaves to devices, we've lost our ways There's one solution, don't pass it by Just turn your eyes unto the sky

Alone here I sat all these years felt uninspired Gave birth to your little boys and girls always so tired You promised me that you’d take care of all of my needs through the years The kids came along and something seemed to change deep inside you You seemed to grow distant and nothing I did seemed to break through You were colder than ice I recall, but I stuck with you through it all I wish things could go back to when I met you by the river Now as these cubs look to you, they need a good father. You shunned off the little one, who now fights for you for his honor It seems that you led them astray, by trying to push him away I wish things could go back to when I met you by the river Don’t burn all of the roads that we traveled on Don’t forget that your family is one I believe in you, don’t turn your back on us now

there's something about sinking down letting go deeper into blue stop treading water it'll only make you tired and wear you down till you lose sight of you i've not lost my way i’m looking for the signs searching to find me and hoping to be found by some higher power at this very hour the image holds us captive still a heavy burden a weight we can't ignore it's what we cling so tightly to that hurts the most it's not worth fighting for tired of manufacturing my lonely prison cell i know it all too well find myself in the mess the place where we’re made known to us is deeper into heart deeper into soul deeper into me deep in you deeper into life deeper into peace deeper into love… you find yourself when you lose yourself when you quit wondering if you could be more everyone sees you but it’s not really you it's the shame that cuts you to the core to be vulnerable to light a candle through the darkness that consumes you dare to let others see breaking down the walls so you’ll be deeper into heart deeper into soul deeper into me deep in you deeper into life deeper into peace deeper into love deep in true deeper into god deeper into good deep into the old deep in new deeper into grace deep into the mess deep into it all… you find yourself when you lose yourself when you disappear deeper into blue

Red sun is sinking’ low Under the weight of a heavy Question Leaving White moon is holding still Deep in the heart of this darkness Watching The night We’re still in motion To the rhythm of The melodies we sung When we were young Blue sky is a ringing bell Another chance to get moving Building Something Green gate is standing wide We’re wandering through this garden Dreaming Life We’re still in motion To the rhythm of The melodies we sung When we were young Watch it come Watch it go Watch it come Watch it go Where does it go When it’s gone? Red sun is sinking’ low Under the weight of a heavy Question Leaving

v1: I had that dream again, where I give it all away A little terror, but mostly relief Not the same as happiness, but I'm starting to have some faith It might be something that looks like peace ch: There's more than enough white flags to go around Songs of peace & love, but we don't like the sound Something on the horizon is calling for change v2: And here's another thought, although a bit naive What if fear could be erased Yeah, I know, impossible, and likely hard to believe But maybe compassion could take its place ch: There's more than enough white flags to go around Songs of peace & love, but we don't like the sound Something on the horizon is calling for change ------- There's more than enough mercy to give away We've missed out on so much, so how 'bout today I'm as guilty as everyone, so I'll take the blame br: So much time that we waste, trying to prove that we're right I don't mind laying it down, throwing the fight Throw the fight -- gtr stuff -- ch: There's more than enough white flags to go around Songs of peace & love, but we don't like the sound Something on the horizon is calling for change ------- There's more than enough mercy to give away We've missed out on so much, so how 'bout today I'm as guilty as everyone, so I'll take the blame v1.5: I had that dream again, where I give it all away

Girl In Green Girl in green reads the news looks at me through the TV screen Keeps a diary somewhere in her dreams Girl in Green reads the news Falls beneath the TV screen Keeps a souvenir of make believe When your days fade away and there’s nothing to say Nothing to say Where the wind blows where the clouds roll by on they’re way Girl in Green in 3D Reads the headlines from the screen Gives an update on all of the news unseen Girl in Green drifts away Lost in thought somewhere gray In a frozen mask of make believe When your days fade away and there’s nothing to say Nothing to say Where the wind blows where the clouds roll by on they’re way Girl in green reads the news looks at me through the TV screen Keeps a diary somewhere in her dreams

Cross the blue ocean she waits while she dances in clover Left my girl there, the wind blowing her hair there at Dover Napolean waits, and we seizing our fates move to greet him Crossing the channel and onward to battle entreat them Our swords at our side and us brimming with pride we set sail there My darling behind, but fresh in my mind, say a prayer Cerulean sea, she’ll go dancing with me in the moonlight Nothing undone all the wars that we’ve won here at midnight Spinning all time in the glorious white here in clover Though we be dead we’re still losing our heads here at Dover (Yes, I totally changed the last two lines of the lyric after the recording and upload. I wrote this shit, I can change it if I wanna.)

about

This week is William’s first assignment, and I like this one. After the very specific assignments of the last couple of weeks, it’ll be nice to have a more open-ended prompt:

"The title of your song must include a color. The Black Cat, The Purple House, or even just…Chartreuse”
