When she's sad the world is lonely Silver clouds are crying only for the pain she feels so deep inside The love she thought would save her has somehow now enslaved her To a dream she though she wanted to come true Spread your wings you can fly But the dove is never free In painted skies that shade the color of your dream Only nightmares are real Confusion conceals the only reason for the feelings you can't hide When she smiles the world it shimes But the silver clouds are only there to hide the distant storm that's coming soon The love she let surround her has become the waves that drown her in the sea of everchaning warmth and cold Spread your wings you can fly But the dove is never free In painted skies that shade the color of your dream Only nightmares are real Confusion conceals the only reason for the feelings you can't hide You can fly Spread your wings you can fly But the dove is never free In painted skies that shade the color of your dream Only nightmares are real Confusion conceals the only reason for the feelings you can't hide When the nightmares ensue All that you can do is paint your sky another brighter shade of blue Spread your wings you can glide above the violent storms that plague your life You paint the picture blue or grey Fly away
