Lyrics A Moment Of Temporary Color - Jackie Greene

A Moment Of Temporary Color

The summer birds have flown off to find another home
I long to go but I am uninvited
I am a stranger here strangled by my every fear
The thoughts inside my head keep me divided
I can’t stand myself 'cause I feel like someone else
And I don’t mind
I can’t even tell if I’m sick or if I’m well
I just don’t
The purpose of my mission was to see the ocean
I have not seen the ocean or tasted the rain
If you will not let me land this airplane
Well, my mission will surely be in vain
I will smile someday about the melancholy gray
Swallows me
I will dream out loud among the color and the clouds
Where I’ll be
Everything we have in life will go away
I am afraid but I’m not the only one
I will leave the world and all I cannot stay
I am afraid but I’m not the only one
