Dreamin' In Color, Livin' In/Black And White

Well there's a cruel sun beating Where there once was a river Crops are bending in the heat But still her dark skin shivers When you move to the beat of hungry It's a slow aching journey She'd hide but there ain't no shelter Yet the cool of the night Reveals the spark of the sweeter life So she dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white [Chorus] Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white Sittin' a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right She ain't about to let the blues over come her She'll contend with this day to day life She's just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white Well it's a gunshot down Here in the heart of the city He slides closer to his mama It's months since they've seen daddy There's a pale light shinin' From a bare refrigerator By the stained cracked plaster By the cold radiator But he's sure out beyond these mean streets There lies paradise So he's dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white [Chorus] He ain't about to let the blues over come him He'll contend with this day to day life He's just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white [Chorus] They ain't about to let the blues over come them They'll contend with this day life They're just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white They're just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white [Repeat: x4]
