MAGENTA
Lisa Qualsett / Lee Black
Dimly tinted are the days 
In shades of stone and sepia 
But if it weren’t for times like these 
I wouldn’t love magenta 
 
And if it weren’t for tears that fall 
And wash the colors colorless 
Bleeding fear and joy to one 
I wouldn’t love magenta 
 
Bursting through the morning sky 
Then gone until the end of day 
If it burned with every hour 
It wouldn’t take my breath away 
 
So give me fog and gray sometimes 
To keep me grateful for the sun 
‘Cause if I had a perfect life 
I wouldn’t love magenta
And how I love magenta
