Afternoons In The Colour Of Lemo

In the night-time electric brightness over the city.
My intuition, impending fatality.
They won't sleep till dawn, full of conflicting emotions.
Drunken street lamps whisper their songs of devotion.

I'd been wasting time in this urban construction
Before I changed my life, before I turned from destruction.
Now I've found you, my only reason and aim which I keep to.
There will be no more fears of toxic "I love yous."

If I could understand
How essential you are
I would ask in a prayer,
If I knew who to ask
For our precious time.

Every morning, yellow and happy, breathing so easily.
I'm not worried, days go by lightly and you are so pretty.
I'm not afraid of cosmic black holes and the threat of eternity
Now I'm sure indeed that only love has a meaning.

If I could understand
How essential you are
I would ask in a prayer,
If I knew who to ask
For our precious time.

Afternoons in the colour of yellow.
Afternoons in the colour of yellow.

The sun through and through penetrates into my head.
You are so pretty and life is so sweet and it's yellow,
Light is yellow.

The sun through and through penetrates into my head.
Every day, every morning is sweet and it's yellow,
Life is yellow.
