Is it wrong or is it right?
Is it black or is it white?
What color is love?

Is it here or is it there?
Is it really everywhere?
What color is love?

Is it strong like a mountains
Or deep like a fountain?
Is flowing free
And what about me
How can you receive
If you're not a believer

Is it blue like the sky
And does it really reach that high?
What color is love?

Is it near or is it far
Or is it distant like a star?
What color is love?

Does it glow like an ember
And do you remember?

If love doesn't last
Does it live in the past
And heart cannot live
If a heart isn't giving

When it's over
Does it show
Does it leave

An afterglow
And i really want to know
What color is love?

Angels of the morning
Children of the dawn
Heaven bless and keep you
Help you carry on

All the heart has hoped for
All that eyes can see
Meant for your salvation
And felicity

I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one

Angels of the evening
Children of the cross
Who can help us gather
All the things that we have lost

Lifetimes shifting phases
Dreams that we discern
Words of wealth and power
Oh, but that's not my concern

I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one

The stone clouds will be fading
Half the rainbow's in
There'll be a new beginning
For all of us, my friend

I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one

I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one

I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one

The sky was grey when I woke up this morning
Seems to me that nothin' was the same
My situation changed without a warning
(The) Sad thing is I don't know who's to blame
Once upon a time our love was shining brightly
Maybe it was just too good to last
(Or I don't know) Perhaps I held too tightly
I had no idea the end would come so fast
Au revoir, she said
She's out of my life - I'm out of my head
So difficult to know which way to choose
And she's gone c'est ca
Can I go on-je ne sais pas
Got to find a way to lose the Paris Blues

The boulevard is just another by-way
Where we walked together-now I walk alone
One more lonely heart (and) one more lonely highway
One more drifter - one more rollin' stone
Au revoir, she said
She's out of my life - I'm out of my head
Difficult to know which way to choose
And she's gone c'est ca
Can I go on-je ne sais pas
Got to find a way to lose the Paris Blues

And for my opening line
I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind.
I turn you on,
I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
Pretty music when you hear it,
Keep on trying to get near it.
A little rhythm for your spirit
Oh but that's what it's for
Come on in, here's the door

And I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than I

Now here's a mystery
And maybe you can help to make it clear to me
When you're fast asleep
Then what is it that's lighting up the dreams you see
Only your tears can't conceal it
And only your prayers may not reveal it
You've got soul so you can feel it
And when you make the scene
Well you know what I mean

Hey, I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than I

Down here on the ground
When you find folks are giving you the runaround
Keep your game uptight
And if you must just take your secrets underground
Now politicians are trying to speech you
Mad color watchers are trying to teach you
Very few will really try to reach you
If you're lost in a stack
That's OK, come all black

Now I'd be the last to deny
That I'm just an average guy
And don't you know each little bird in the sky
Is just a little bit freer than I

Hey ordinary Joe
Although they say you're just a lazy so-and-so
What they think is real
Is nothing but an animated puppet show
So don't let time and space confuse you
And don't let name and form abuse you
Let that Big Joe Williams blues you
In the light of the sun you can see how they burn

Oh I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than i

O dear, what can the matter be?
Dear, dear, what can the matter be?
O dear, what can the matter be
Johnny's so long at the fair.
Johnny's so long at the fair.

He promised he'd bring me a bunch of blue ribbons,
To tie up my bonny brown hair.

O dear, what can the matter be?
Dear, dear, what can the matter be?
O dear, what can the matter be
Johnny's so long at the fair.
Johnny's so long at the fair.

Like a ship without the ocean
Like a road without a wheel
Like a sun without the morning
People, that's the way I feel

But I'll be going home in style
Traveling one more midnight mile, yeah

I want a cold home or county
Where man must walk alone
That was the home of Muddy Waters
And they called him Daddy Rolling Stone, yeah

They said the road is such a trial
Traveling one more midnight mile, yeah

Now heaven help the people
Who's scufflin' day by day
All they need is to find a hero
Who can help show them the way

And maybe he'll be here after awhile
Traveling one more midnight mile

I looked into the heart of darkness
The reflection burnt my soul
I had to try to find a healer
And her love has made me whole

She had me crying like a child
Traveling one more midnight mile, yeah
