Pinky in the Daylight

With your lip bit and your nails too

Your hair pinned and falling down

With your elbows extended

I follow the shape of your brow

And there’s a new kind of beauty

That I’ve never seen before

In the flickering of a candle

The paint on my brush

Pinky in the daylight, crimson at night, how I love you

Silvery in the moonlight

Like dusk on the sea

Standing at your shoreline

An ocean at my feet

And in those moments I am ready

I am humbled and I am free

And I can feel all those colours baby

Pour back into me

Pinky in the daylight, crimson at night, how I love you

And in those times when I was blinded

And colours faded away

Bleached by my own sadness

I was slipping into the grey

(But now I see)

Pinky in the daylight, crimson at night, how I love you
