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 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

[solo]

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 will find my way back home

Somehow I'll find my way back home
