lyrics

With rose-colored glasses
She looks to the sky
Fire and ashes
Turn to clouds in her eyes

But she’ll never see the trees
Just the pleasant dreams
Of a world that exists in her mind

The sun fades away
As the darkness breaks through
And she’s only left
With the golden fruit

From the Garden of Eden
From me it was given
From my love to love now gone by

Oooh, Oooh
The world is filled with wonder and fantasy
Oooh, Oooh
As the cool sea breeze blows through my hair I’m alive

There’s a grave where she lies
Beneath the rolling sea
Where it was that I left her
Beneath the willow tree

Through rose-colored glasses
Her life before her passes
To see what there is to be seen

Oooh, Oooh
The world is filled with wonder and fantasy
Oooh, Oooh
As the cool sea breeze blows through my hair I’m alive

Twas that very night
She breathed her final breath
Those rose-colored eyes
Had never seen death

With her innocence taken
And her mind shaken
She covered her face and she cried

Oooh, Oooh. Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh.
The world is filled with wonder and fantasy
Oooh, Oooh
As the cool sea breeze blows through my hair I’m alive

Oooh, Oooh
The world is filled with wonder and fantasy
Oooh, Oooh
As the cool sea breeze blows through my hair I’m alive
