Lyrics Chris Rea – Red

Put your hand in the paintbox and choose
Which one says the most about you
I would have to pick the deepest shade
The saddest shade of blue

I set my soul long ago and far away
Oh it’s written down so deep it can never fade away
Though so many years have come and gone
Through my life one thing has stayed
An eternal light that shines clean through the grey

Red is colour I’d choose
Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue
It don’t matter now if I should win
If I should win or lose
‘cos red is colour I’d choose
If I waste my time away waiting just for you
I don’t care what others say
‘cos baby I just love, love what you do

Red is colour I’d choose
Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue
It don’t matter now if I should win
If I should win or lose
‘cos red is colour I’d choose
