Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Interracial love song lyrics )
A DIFFERENT SHADE OF LOVING
Copyright © 1997 - MickTerry.com

On   YouTube,  performed  LIVE  by  MICK TERRY   (soon!)

A kitten and a puppy
cavorting with a thread.
A sparrow and an eagle
just floating overhead.
And no one seems too bothered
what's wrong or what is right.
A DIFFERENT SHADE OF LOVING,
a different color of life.

Two roses in the window,
each one a different hue.
Two bodies in the mirror:
one's me, the other's you,
with two far different cultures
some say will bring just strife.
A DIFFERENT SHADE OF LOVING,
a different color of life.

        Somehow some folks are threatened
        by what we represent,
        Although to make a statement
        was never our intent.
        How can we keep unconscious
        to what is going on?
        Can we keep unaffected
        by the "meaning" of it all?

We sense their eyes upon us:
the glance, the stare, the gaze.
Some puzzled, some condemning,
some burn with inner rage.
With but a few accepting,
some hurl the jagged knife.
A DIFFERENT SHADE OF LOVING,
a different color of life.

        BRIDGE

Two colors on the pallet
are mixed with the artist's brush.
Two lovers in the courtyard,
aware they're seen too much.
What if no one would see us
in the silence of the night?
A DIFFERENT SHADE OF LOVING,
a different color of life.
