about

This is the first single from Tamara's debut solo album.

lyrics

I've been sitting here, without your colours
Why don't you come round here and paint me?
Don't use brushes. Don't use symmetry
Just use your hands to paint a happy picture of me

With a canvas blank and a blanket on
Won't you take my hand?
Pack a bag for the journey and hope that it's long
'cos we'll never stop
Fill up the tank and put Grey Reverend on,
and we'll sing his songs...

I taste the red in you, and I see the black
Don't wash anything away
We'll fill out palettes up, and then sit back
Please don't wash anything away

With a canvas blank and a blanket on
Won't you take my hand?
Pack a bag for the journey and hope that it's long
'cos we'll never stop
Fill up the tank and put Grey Reverend on,
and we'll sing his songs...

Some say that my light went out
That I was looking pretty yellow
It's because I stopped
It's because I stopped
I stopped seeing colour

With a canvas blank and a blanket on
Won't you take my hand
Pack a bag for the journey and hope that it's long
'cos we'll never stop
Fill up the tank and put Grey Reverend on,
and we'll sing his songs...

about

Tamara Oxford, UK

Tamara wailed as a child. Luckily this soon turned into singing, although at times she can still be heard wailing (in her songs or when she laughs). Tamara writes songs that make you feel something.
