about

This song was written at one of the darkest most difficult times in my life. But suffice it to say miracles DID happen and things resolved, as I look back upon it, in ways that were better than I could possibly imagine at the time…

For a small fee I’ll be glad to tell you the full story… if you can handle it… LOL. :o)

lyrics

Rose Colored Glasses

Song #190 | 7/6/1993 | CD: tbd
[Tuning: DADGAD]

I may look like a fool in my rose colored glasses
I may look like a fool in my rose colored shades
I may look like a fool but I don’t care
‘Cause I believe in the power of prayer
To pull me a miracle or two right out of thin air

I know that the good times are gonna come and catch us
I know that the good times are gonna come and stay
I know that the good times are gonna catch us
Though today they seem slow as molasses
I know the good times are gonna come and they’re gonna stay

Refrain:
The sun is hot and mean this morning
It’s a hundred in the shade the radio’s warning
And I’m wishing for a breeze to blow a storm in through these trees
I’m wishing for, I’m wishing for a breeze…

I called you on the phone but you weren’t home today
I called you on the phone but you weren’t home and that’s ok
I called you on the phone to tell you why
I refuse to hang my head and cry
Called you on the phone but you weren’t home today

Refrain:

[Instrumental]
I’m walking down a road that’s got no name and got no end
I’m walking down a road that’s got no name and got no end
I’m walking down a road that’s got no name
Just mountains, rivers, valleys and plains
I’m walking down a road that got no name and got no end

Refrain:

I may look like a fool in my rose colored glasses
I may look like a fool in my rose colored shades
I may look like a fool but I don’t care
‘Cause I believe in the power of prayer
To pull me a miracle or two right out of thin air
To pull me a miracle or two right out of thin air
Gonna need a miracle or two or three right out of thin air…

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
