Magenta Madness
written by: Ernest Federspiel
As dawn breaks into the darkness of night, love appears
Watching the red sun melt into a perfect baby blue sky
Fantasies and dreams glide us past all the pain and tears
Starry-eyed lovers still believing each other’s little alibis
Joy romantically carries us through the days and nights
Robins happily sing the songs of love to fill the spring air
Words cut like a knife in the thickness of last night’s fight
You broke my heart when you swore you no longer cared
Rose-colored glasses hide the unwanted love you won’t see
Glistening tears of blue flowing freely out of a soul all alone
The spinning emotions of red-molten love will not let me be
As I try to talk to you about it you start to rumble and groan
The color of goodbye is written in the magenta sky of twilight
Heartbreak clouds of sorrow blur dreams of what once were
Pinks of day fade into the deep blues of a juke joint at midnight
On the highway of broken hearts, I am but a lonely chauffeur
