Name: The Colors of the Day
Duration: P00H04M06S
Description: A kind of fusion/samba written after going on a blind date with a woman who couldn't be present to meet the day. We were in Point Reyes on the Sky trail, one of my favorite places in the world, and all she could do was complain. At least a song came out of the experience!

A kind of fusion/samba written after going on a blind date with a woman who couldn't be present to meet the day. We were in Point Reyes on the Sky trail, one of my favorite places in the world, and all she could do was complain. At least a song came out of the experience!

lyrics

Day by day, you go your way
A tired actor in a play
Up and down, you act the clown
Your painted smile doesn't hide your frown

And the sun shines down on everybody's sadness
Everybody's madness too
It's all a game
No one can explain why your heart
Tears your soul apart when all around you
The colors of the day invite
Ask your eyes to take delight
Drink the sunlight, let your heart take flight
It contains all you need to know
To help you through the night

And if you think that hope is gone
And your life has come undone
Wait 'til sunrise, morning still will come
For a new day has begun
