Fresh paint, touch of gloss shining 
New look, well the cushions anyway 
Splash of colour, your style defining 
Yellow shot through with green bay 
 
Sunlight sparkles through the window 
Dappling the walls like water flowing 
Breeze makes the muslin curtains billow 
Can't stand here all day, must get going 
 
Closing the door behind me, I leave 
Life passes you by if you remain static 
I welcome the new, I must believe 
Or maybe just retire to the attic 
 
Face turned up to the sun-light, smiling 
I walk away down the road, no more crying
