Foggy air, the rays of light shine against a cloudy wall
Again the time of year has come and brought the world to fall
Late hour and it starts to rain, the sun’s already set
A chilling flair of loneliness is darkness’ silent threat
But colors on wet streets
Let me know that there is us
An unexpected piece of beauty
For a moment brakes the dusk
Even though the vivid lights are scattered by the spray
A mirror on the tar collects them, helping break the grey.
And as complementaries fuse, I find my mind go roam
The streets seem endless, foggy figures guide my way back home
But colors on wet streets
Show simple things bear art
As red and green from traffic lights
Set everything apart
But colors on wet streets
Let me know that there is us
An unexpected piece of beauty
For a moment brakes the dusk
But colors on wet streets
Show simple things bear art
As red and green from traffic lights
Set everything apart
But colors on wet streets
Let me know that there is us
An unexpected piece of beauty
For a moment brakes the dusk
