The day was old, the light was dim
 As I stepped through the door And all my friends were gathering
 That day that I recall I shivered and shook, Lord I stook
 Just waiting to chase the fall I wondered how my time would be
 When [bad word] round, once more I face the wind, I have no choice
 But you must guard the heart And cast adrift from those I love
 Alone I drag my heart Against the cry of why
 I turn my back to go But out beyond the tears somewhere
 Someone, I need to know It's only love, in the colours of the shade
 It's only love-ove, in the colours of the shade All in shades, ah, it's only love
 Old photographs were fading dim My seed will tell it all
 Oh by the Fathers Fathers have Such pain, on ...
 They read the signs without surprise Of how they knew it well
 And in the mirror still I see The man, who came from [bad word]  It's only love, and the colours of the shade It's only love, in the colours of the shade
 It's only love, in the colours of the shade They say, they say, they say
 It's only love, it's only love
