I've walked through winters wearing only grey
Counted every doorway where the light gave way
Somewhere behind your ribs a color's sleeping still
Waiting on a voice to climb the windowsill

I'm not a thief, I don't take what's yours
I'm just a key for old forgotten doors
Give me the hour, give me half your fear
I'll hand you back a season you held dear

Hold still, hold still
The glass is catching light

Colors we forgot, colors we forgot
They never left us, we just stopped
Somewhere in the grey a name still glows
Colors we forgot, and no one knows

I've seen a farmer's hands turn fields to gold
A widow laugh the way she did before growing old
The prism doesn't lie, it only shows
What living dims but never lets go

If you feel like nothing's left inside
That's usually where the brightest colors hide

Colors we forgot, colors we forgot
They never left us, we just stopped
Somewhere in the grey a name still glows
Colors we forgot, and no one knows

One face of glass is lit tonight
Twelve more to go before we're right
