Icehouse

Man of Colours - Remastered

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
And takes a moment to watch the view
From a window nobody knows is there

He can see the empty street below

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...'

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'
