i look at the river 
but i'm thinking of the sea 
the past overwritten 
by what i hope to be 
i search for the essence 
it's my command 
that is the centre 
it's what i demand 
in my mind 
i'm standing in a glasshouse 
looking below 

don't wanna look without seeing 
don't wanna touch without feeling 

i dream in colour 
yes i dream in colour 
when the world's in black and sepia tone 
or in sleepy monochrome 
i dream in colour 
yes i dream in colour 
i see much further than this 
i see much further than this 
yes 

in a room with no windows 
and painted doors 
what once was my ceiling 
now is the floor 
my landscape is changing 
from out of the dust 
it's some kind of healing 
like the sun coming up 
in my mind 
i'm standing in a glasshouse 
looking below 

don't wanna hear without listening 
don't wanna talk without speaking 

i dream in colour 
yes i dream in colour 

when the world's in black and sepia tone 
or in sleepy monochrome 
i dream in colour 
yes i dream in colour 
i see much further than this 
i see much further than this 
i dream in colour 
yes i dream in colour 
when the world's in black and sepia tone 
or in sleepy monochrome 
i dream in colour 
yes i dream in colour 
i see much further than this 
gotta to be more than this 

i can see through the clouds of grey 
got a window on the world 
i can sweep them all away 
got a window on the world 

don't wanna look without seeing 
don't wanna touch without feeling 

i dream in colour 
yes i dream in colour 
when the world's in black and sepia tone 
or in sleepy monochrome 
i dream in colour 
yes i dream in colour 
i see much further than this 
i see much further than this 
i dream in colour 
yes i dream in colour 
when the world's in black and sepia tone 
or in sleepy monochrome 
i dream in colour 
yes i dream in colour 
i see much further than this 
i see much further than this
