You Came Throwing Colors Lyrics - Tom Paxton

You came throwing colors all around my blacks and greys, 

While I stood in wonder, you just opened up my days. 

Let me tell you what you did to me - I want to shout the news - 

You came throwing colors 'round my blues. 

You came throwing colors 'round my blues. 

Makes me wonder how I got the way I used to be. 

Something in my head just really made a mess of me. 

Then you told me love was possible and you told me I was free 

You came throwing colors 'round my blues. 

Oh, you came throwing colors all around my blacks and greys, 

While I stood in wonder, you just opened up my days. 

Let me tell you what you did to me - I want to shout the news - 

You came throwing colors 'round my blues. 

You came throwing colors 'round my blues. 

Oh, I would sit for hours never noticing the sky, 

Chances came and went, you know, I let them scurry by. 

Then you told me love was possible, and you made me want to try. 

You came throwing colors 'round my blues. 

Oh, you came throwing colors all around my blacks and greys, 

While I stood in wonder, you just opened up my days. 

Let me tell you what you did to me - I want to shout the news - 

You came throwing colors 'round my blues. 

You came throwing colors 'round my blues. 

You came throwing colors 'round my blues. 

You came throwing colors 'round my blues.
