American Angel - Lonely Brown lyrics

Lonely Brown sitting on a window And he looks around Seems like things are never Gonna go his way The color around just seemed To leave him through another's hand Sometimes life's so cruel And it leaves you cold and grey Where do the answers lie For a lonely color left here to die No one left to blend with The strength has all but left him Left him without the glory Maybe he could tell a story He only needs one chance To dance upon the plane The painter he stares at the shadowless invention That he worked so hard for It shined so brilliant But it lacked a certain need You see without any brown it just seemed so distant Like a grain of sand Need an ocean's hand To help it live and breathe You ain't gonna find no sympathy All the way back home And now you're gonna walk your destiny You walked the miles for all the years Now who's gonna sort all your tears I don't wanna lose you in the sunlight You set the world on fire And if I could just freeze these pa**ing moments You'd set the world on fire Ooh, lonely Brown, he died on the window And the world went on He never fed the fire Of hope the painter burned All the color around melts into wisdom That we all have I hope one day that Brown Can hear his lonely song, walk on You ain't gonna find no sympathy On your way back home And now you're gonna walk your destiny You walked the miles for all the years Now who's gonna sort all your tears Lonely Brown sitting on a window You set the world on fire Oh, the color around just seemed to leave him You set the world on fire Lonely Brown, he died on that window You set the world on fire Well, if I could just freeze these pa**ing moments You'd set the world on fire Oh, you know It's gonna burn for me
