It seems to me You must be slightly colour-blind So I've been telling you white lies You cannot see Either that reddened cheek of mine Or this dark green of my eye Caused by the wordless fear My fearless words befriend Like a tuneless song A horseless carousel What a brave coward I am I'll see you round the bend The day is gone A nightly mist is falling Over a hundred white lies I wish you sensed The pounding of my heart And the sparkle in my eye Caused by the wordless fear My fearless words befriend Like a tuneless song A horseless carousel What a brave coward I am I'll see you round the bend It seems to me You must be slightly colour-blind So I'll keep on telling white lies You cannot see But you may hear between these lines What I'm white-lying about Despite the wordless fear My fearless words befriend The wordless fear My fearless words befriend Like a tuneless song A horseless carousel What a brave coward I am I'll see you around the bend
