The Colour Of Nostalgia

from Blitz Spirit by Jess Silk

/

lyrics

The sun on the leaves sparks a song in my head
And I know how it feels though it’s not written yet
Looking through a kaleidoscope of yellows and greens
The sun soft on my skin and a chill on the breeze

There’s a memory of something that I’ve felt before
A kind of synesthesia; a crack in the wall
The colours are warm like a fond memory
Like the peace of a sunset or the roar of the sea

It’s the warmth of a jacket two sizes too big
It’s like finding the toy that you loved as a kid
It’s those nights that you’ve spent sitting under the stars
With your family of friends as you pass the guitar

It’s those moments you know that you’ll treasure for life
It’s the stories you tell on those cold, stormy nights
It’s that old pair of boots that are falling apart
It’s the feeling of home you hold dear in your heart

It’s the song that they play at the end of the night
It’s your fist in the air, comrades stood at your side
It’s those words when they hit you so hard in the heart
It’s the arms of a friend after too long apart

It’s those moments you know that you’ll treasure for life
It’s the stories you tell on those cold, stormy nights
It’s that old pair of boots that are falling apart
It’s the feeling of home you hold dear in your heart

If I could do anything to capture that shade
I’d paint a picture so I could escape
Into all of the memories, the nights and the days
And I’d smile though I know I can’t go back there again
