Lonely Brown by American Angel Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1989

Lonely Brown sitting on a window
And he looks around
Seems like things are never
Gonna go his way
The color around just seemed
To leave him through another's hand
Sometimes life's so cruel
And it leaves you cold and grey

Where do the answers lie
For a lonely color left here to die
No one left to blend with
The strength has all but left him
Left him without the glory
Maybe he could tell a story
He only needs one chance
To dance upon the plane

The painter he stares at the shadowless invention
That he worked so hard for
It shined so brilliant
But it lacked a certain need
You see without any brown it just seemed so distant
Like a grain of sand
Need an ocean's hand
To help it live and breathe
You ain't gonna find no sympathy
All the way back home
And now you're gonna walk your destiny
You walked the miles for all the years
Now who's gonna sort all your tears

I don't wanna lose you in the sunlight
You set the world on fire
And if I could just freeze these passing moments
You'd set the world on fire

Ooh, lonely Brown, he died on the window
And the world went on
He never fed the fire
Of hope the painter burned
All the color around melts into wisdom
That we all have
I hope one day that Brown
Can hear his lonely song, walk on

You ain't gonna find no sympathy
On your way back home
And now you're gonna walk your destiny
You walked the miles for all the years
Now who's gonna sort all your tears
Lonely Brown sitting on a window
You set the world on fire
Oh, the color around just seemed to leave him
You set the world on fire

Lonely Brown, he died on that window
You set the world on fire
Well, if I could just freeze these passing moments
You'd set the world on fire

Oh, you know
It's gonna burn for me
