Analysis of Dreaming Of Colors



Restless night I'm trying to sleep
Seeing colors falling above my head
Slowly pulling me down deep
While I'm still lying on my bed

I begin sliding down a rainbow
Forming images by mixing each hue
Constructing things only I could know
Using colors to make my dream come true
