"It’s hard to see the difference Between the twilight and the dawn." What a perfect picture! ...and the person I wrote COLORS for has never heard the song. Do you think I should tell her about it?
beautiful & coming from someone who works the graveyard shift ...I relate to the contrast of the difference
