Lyrics of Dreamin in color livin in black and white

Well, there's a cruel sun beating where there once was a river
Crops are bending in the heat but still her dark skin shivers
When you move to the beat of hungry, it's a slow aching journey
She'd hide but there ain't no shelter

Yet, the cool of the night reveals the spark of the sweeter life
So she dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

Dreamin' in color, livin' in stone cold black and white
Sittin' a gray day, leanin' on a bright new tomorrow
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right

She ain't about to let the blues over come her
She'll contend with this day to day life
She's just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

Well, it's a gunshot down here in the heart of the city
He slides closer to his mama, it's months since they've seen daddy
There's a pale light shinin' from a bare refrigerator
By the stained cracked plaster, by the cold radiator

But he's sure out beyond these mean streets, there lies paradise
So he's dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

Dreamin' in color, livin' in stone cold black and white
Sittin' in a gray day, leanin' on a bright new tomorrow
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right

He ain't about to let the blues over come him
He'll contend with this day to day life
He's just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

Dreamin' in color, living in stone cold black and white
Sittin' in gray day, leanin' on the bright new tomorrow
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right

They ain't about to let the blues over come them
They'll contend with this day life
They're just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white
They're just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

Dreamin' in color, livin' in stone cold black and white
Dreamin' in color, livin' in stone cold black and white
Dreamin' in color, livin' in stone cold black and white
Dreamin' in color, livin' in stone cold black and white
