Blue the colour of seas and skies
The colour of little boys toys
The colour fading jeans
Blue the colour of her eyes

Green the colour of leafs and dollars
The colour of nature
The colour of a life
Green was always her favourite colour

Purple the colour of flowers in meadows
The colour of berries
The colour of sapphire
Purple the colour of her eyeshadow

Yellow the colour of sunshine and hay
The colour of happiness
The colour of lemons
Yellow the colour of her dress that day

Orange the colour of sunsets that linger in the evening air
The colour of pumpkins
The colour of tangerines
Orange the colour of her hair

Pink the colour of hair bows and clips
The colour of cupcake icing
The colour of grace
Pink the colour of her lips

Red the colour of bricks and rust
The colour of phone boxes
The colour of love
Red the colour of her flowing blood

White the colour of rounders balls and bowling pins
The colour of peace
The colour of snow
White the colour of her fading skin

Silver the colour of quick witted tongues
The colour of rings
The colour of metal
Silver the colour of his gun

Black the colour of darkness and death
The colour of midnights
The colour of coal
Black the colour of her final breath
