“My love colours outside the lines, exploring paths that few could ever find; and takes me into places where I’ve never been before, and opens doors to worlds outside the lines.
We’ll never walk on water if we’re not prepared to drown, body and soul need a soaking from time to time. And we’ll never move the gravestones if we’re not prepared to die, and realize there are worlds outside the lines.”
‘My Love Colours Outside the Lines’
Words&Music: Gordon Light, 1995
