There's a noise upstairs in the attic it's the shuffle of worn out shoes and the scent of the oil and brushes drifts down like a pale perfume
<chorus begin> and he says, "I... I am a man, a simple man, ...a man of colours, and I can see see through the years, years of a man, ...a man of colours" <chorus end>
and the old man rubs his failing eyes and takes a moment to watch the view from a window nobody knows is there he can see the empty street below
[chorus]
he says, "I keep my life in this paintbox I keep your face in these picture frames and when I speak to this faded canvas it tells me I have no need for words anyway..."
[chorus]
and he says, "I... I am a man, a simple man, ...a man of colours, and I can see see through the tears, tears of a man, ...a man of colours"
