"Red" lyrics

Red

Put your hand
In the paintbox and choose
Which one says the most
About you
I would have to pick the deepest shade
The saddest shade of blue
But red is the colour I'd choose
Oh, red is the colour I'd choose

I set my soul long ago and far away
Oh, it's written down so deep
It can never fade away
Though so many years
Have come and gone
Through my life one thing has stayed
An eternal light
That shines clean through the grey
Yeah

Red is the colour I'd choose
Deepest red
In a sky of deepest blue
It don't matter now if I should win
If I should win or lose
Cause red is the colour I'd choose

If I waste my time away
Waiting just for you
I don't care what others say
Cause baby I just love
Love what you do

Red is the colour I'd choose
Deepest red
On a sky of deepest blue
Now it don't
It don't matter now if I should win
If I should win or lose
Cause red is the colour I'd choose

Red is the colour I'd choose
Deepest red
On a sky of deepest blue
It don't matter now
If I should win or lose
Cause red is the colour I'd choose
Red is the colour I'd choose
