Color me your color, baby.  
Color me your car.  
Color me your color, darling.  
I know who you are.

For those who fancy coloring books  
As certain people do  
Here’s a new one for you  
A most unusual coloring book  
The kind you never see  
Crayons ready?  
Very well  
Begin to color me

These are the eyes that watched him  
As he walked away

- Color them grey

This is the heart that thought  
He would always be true

- Color it blue

These are the arms that held him  
And touched him  
Then lost him, somehow

- Color them empty now

Flying  
And I know I’m not coming down  
You’re trying  
But you know you must soon go down  
All my colors turn to clouds  
[All my colors turn to clouds](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC_VRXenP4Q)

Zimbo

What d’you say  
When your heart’s in pieces?  
How d’you play  
Those cards in sequence?  
That box you gave me burned nicely  
That box you gave me burned nicely

All wet, hey you might need a raincoat  
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight  
Three hundred sixty five degrees  
Burning down the house

You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul  
You’ll be my breath should I grow old  
You are my lover, you’re my best friend  
You’re in my soul

My love for you is immeasurable  
My respect for you immense  
You’re ageless, timeless, lace and fineness  
You’re beauty and elegance

You’re a rhapsody, a comedy  
You’re a symphony and a play  
You’re every love song ever written  
But honey what do you see in me

Into the heart…of a child  
I stay a while…oh, I can go back

Into the heart…of a child  
I can smile  
I can go there

Into the heart  
Into the heart of a child  
I can go back  
I can stay awhile

Into the heart…

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you  
If you’re young at heart.  
For it’s hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind  
If you’re young at heart.  
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes.  
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams.  
And life gets more exciting with each passing day.  
And love is either in your heart, or on it’s way.

[I am the voice of Never-Never-Land](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5i7htF2AwY)  
The innocence, the dreams of every man  
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan  
[A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,](http://ebirdr.com/files/images/3094-swallow-tailed-kite.jpg)  
Every chimney, every moonlit sight  
I am the story that will read you real  
Every memory that you hold dear

I am the journey,  
I am the destination  
I am the home  
The tale that reads you  
Away to taste the night  
The elusive high  
Follow the madness  
Alice, you know once did

Imaginarium, a dream emporium  
Caress the tales  
And they will dream you real  
A storyteller’s game  
Lips that intoxicate  
The core of all life is a  
Limitless chest of tales

Tell me a story, Father, please do;  
I’ve kissed Mama, and I’ve said my prayers,  
And I’ve bade good night to the soft pussy cat  
And the little gray mouse that lives under the stairs.

Tell me a story, Father, please do,  
Of power-crazed vampires of monstrous size,  
Of hordes of malevolent man-eating crabs,  
And pea-green zombies with X-ray eyes.

And if you’re downright disgusted,  
And life ain’t worth a dime,  
Get a girl with far away eyes.

Plenty of islands between now and then  
Rocks break the boats of the painted face men  
And they drown, and they’re born  
And they live once again  
And this all happens  
When you were mine

In a storm like this, a hundred kisses of snow  
You with another so easily sleep  
What’s real and what’s dreamt become close and entwine  
[When you were mine](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uw2iHUeCyQ)

And on the bus today, I met the queen of L.A. -  
At least she said she was and who am I to say?  
She was sixty-five and full of life,  
She had purple-painted cheeks  
And glitter on her eyes
