Icehouse Man of Colours Lyrics:
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.
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"
and the old man rubs
his failing eyes,
takes a moment to watch the view.
from a window nobody
knows he's there,
he can see the empty
street below.
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"
he says, "I keep my life
in this paintbox
I keep your face in
these picture frames
when I speak to the
empty canvas... it
tells me...
I have no need for
words anyway..."
and he says, "I...
I am a man
a Simple man,
.. a man of colours.
and I can see
see through these tears
tears of a man,
.. a man of colours"
and he says, "I...
I am a man
a Simple man,
.. a man of colours.
and I can see
see through these tears
tears of a man,
.. a man of colours"
