Blue Rodeo Rose-Coloured Glasses lyrics

She sees the world
Through rose-colored glasses
Painted skies
And graceful romances

I see a world that's tired and scared
Of living on the edge too long
Where does she get off telling me
That love could save us all, save us all

She takes my hand
And leads me to nowhere town
No matter where I stand
It's always neutral ground

And in the cool of the evening blue
I feel so tired and alone
Where does she get off telling me
That love could save us all, save us all

And it's day after day
I keep hanging around
Can you tell me why

Night after night
Yeah, I know I should leave
But there's something
In those eyes

That keeps me hanging on

I'm hypnotized
It breaks my heart
And I don't know why

Tell me why, tell me why
She sees the world
Through rose-colored glasses
Painted skies
And graceful romances

I see a world that's tired and scared
Of living on the edge too long
Where does she get off telling me
That love could save us all, save us all

And it's day after day
I keep hanging around
Can you tell me why

Night after night
Yeah, I know I should leave
But there's something, yeah, yeah
Day after day, after day after day
And I don't know
Day after day, after day after day
And I don't know why
