Donovan "Colours" 1966

 

 

Colours

Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair
In the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

 

Green's the colour of the sparklin' corn
In the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

 

Blue's the colour of the sky-y
In the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

 

Mellow is the feeling that I get
When I see her, m-hmm
When I see her, oh yeah
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

 

Freedom is a word I rarely use,

Without thinking, m-hmm,

Without thinking, oh yeah.

Of the time, of the time,

When I've been loved.
