Thursday Afternoon Lyrics - Indigo Girls

Her life is a show 

One act follows the other everywhere she goes 

She takes the leading role 

She never plays herself 

Save for the time she's on the stage 

Color her black or white 

Now either one reflects the teardrops 

One extreme for the other 

Nothing in between 

Color her white for the princess she could be 

Color her black for the troubled child she plays so well 

Well she's dancing through hell on a dream

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And blue is soul of the one 

Reaching for the man that she hasn't got yet 

And holding on to those hearts for lost causes 

She could be so bright 

But she's reaching for us all 

Color her blue for the loneliness she feels 

She's hiding her heart in the sky 

And this is a thursday afternoon 

It's just another thursday afternoon 

It's just another thursday afternoon 

Color me grey 

I'm a little bit of everything today 

And I'm not sure just where I'm going 

Color me grey 

Wishing I was something more of distinction 

Photos 

Color us all 'cause we're just stars 

Wishing our lives away 

Into the distance 

And out of existence 

Color her black or white 

Color her blue 

Or color me grey 

Color us all - we're stars 

Wishing our lives away 

Now we're stars
