I used to paint so blurry maps

On days so lazy, dull and blue

Before your soft dreamy eyes

In a lovely voice to please you

How I'd be gone far on a trip

To see great towers and walls

Wandering around this globe

Laughing at the Niagara Falls

And weaving dreams in Paris

Drowning in colours and art

Roaming streets in New York

Slowly letting go of my heart

But I never understood why

You always managed to smile

With a light tinge of sadness

As if you were so about to cry

Oh and then one of those days

I was gifted with a good news

They told me about the donor

Whose eyes I could finally use

I remember leavin' everythin'

'N' fastly running back to you

To share my great happiness

Comin' my way in days so few

How I'd be leaving my stick

And travelling around so free

Finally I'd see all my dreams

And be where I wanted to be

Your voice floated soft 'n' low

When you congratulated me

Blessing me with a new way

Saying you were very happy

After two weeks, it was done

I could see the clouds in skies

But all I so wanted was to see

The colour of your hazy eyes

So I thanked my nice doctor

But he told me, I got so lucky

Donor was for someone else

It wasn't really meant for me

And someone had been kind

To leave this chance of sight

For a so dreamy lass like me

So that I could see every light

Then I asked him who it was

And he said it was a poor boy

Who claimed a relation to me

And that he was sweet 'n' coy

Quickly, I inquired his name

I was in a hurry to meet you

But that name left me shook

It was yours! How could you?

In order to colour my dreams

You gave up a golden chance!

Oh my love! What did you do!

Why oh why? I was in trance!

And I ran back to your place

It was playing, an old record

You were softly singing along

I felt strangled in panic cord..

You felt my steps on the floor

Nearly stumbling over to me

You reached to touch my face

Asking me why I had lost glee

I could finally see every shade

Crossing your soft brown eyes

It had been my greatest cravin'

So why was I filled with cries?

I could see your glowin' smile

But I felt gettin' lost in a mess

It hurt me, you kept insisting

You're friends with darkness?

But I longed for light no more

Darkness could be this kind?

In order to fulfill my dreams

You chose to remain blind....?

Suddenly I wanted none of it

No Paris, New York, the Falls

For I was a soul who got light

But longed for the dark walls!

Because nothing appealed me

It wasn't as pretty as I thought

Things felt so lonely in colours

I regretted what I had bought..

World was such a harsh place

People always brought stress!

Oh I wish you could so know..

I missed my days of darkness

When I painted blurry maps

On days so lazy, dull and blue

Living in each other's voices

When it was just me and you...
