lyrics

Verse 1:
I've been idling
Idling by the window
Looking out
Out into the rain

If I thought honestly
That I could change the world
I would have done so

I know it ain't easy for you
It ain't easy for me too

Chorus 1:
There was a time
We used to sit in the fields
And dream about the city
Now that city is breaking down

If there was a time
Where I could pinpoint my happiness
This is it
This moment

Verse 2:
If I had a helping hand
To make it all the easier
I would have done so

If I could understand
The workings of the workingman
I would have done so

I know it ain't easy for you
It ain't easy for me too

Chorus 2

(All These Colours, All These Colours)

Chorus 3

Outro:

All these colours start to look the same,
Let the motor run, let the motor run
All these colours start to look the same
Let the motor run, Let the motor run

Let the motor run, Motor run (x 3)

about

CAIRO Toronto, Ontario

We have an affinity for haunting quiet & ambient walls of sound. Our music – sometimes orchestral & sometimes minimal – can be characterized as elemental and strangely familiar while remaining explorative and raw. We love almonds, water & boat loads of reverb. ... more
