Colores para dolores de Kevin Ayers

White is the colour of night
when there's nobody there,
and you sit in your chair,
getting drunk on despair.
Red is the colour it's said
that can drive you insane
with pleasure or
it depends on your head.
Brown is the colour of skin
that i'd like to be in,
'cause it doesn't feel right
to be coloured so white.
Blue is the colour of sky
and i won't even try
to explain how or why,
i¯ll just show you the sky
just show you the sky
