pink on white walls

Paul Weller

The sun shone pink on white walls
And the trees stood so tall
Defiant, proud and loud against the sky.
There s no sign, there s no plan
There ain t even a helping hand
Just the bitter tang of sweet virtue.

Don t waste your time -
Don t hesitate -
Life is but a moment, you can t wait,
Go & have your fun -
Go & lose your mind -
But can you get back to the ones you left behind?

When it comes, it comes quick!
An when you re least expecting it
But the top s the bottom, an the bottom is all you got.

The sun shone pink on my wall
And the trees stand so tall
I m empty now - but funny how -
Defiant, proud & loud against the sky.
