Colours Lyrics

Artist: Donovan
Album: Donovan's Greatest Hits

Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair
In the mornin' when we rise,
In the mornin' when we rise,
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.
Blue's the colour of the sky
In the mornin' when we rise,
In the mornin' when we rise.
in the mornin' 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 mornin' when we rise,
In the mornin' when we rise.
in the mornin' 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, mm hmm,
when I see her, uh huh.
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best.
Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinkin', mm hmm,
Without thinkin', mm hmm,
Of the time, of the time
When I've been loved.

It's amazing how many of Donovan's songs are being played or melodies being quoted in many commercials today!

There are a few "in the mornin' when we rise" too much in the lyrics above. (Verse 2&3). Great song though!

On the Donovan Rising and Live in Japan albums he does a teaser "Yellow is the color of my true love's teeth..."

"Red is the colour of my true love's sheets,
In the mornin' when we rise,
In the mornin' when we rise,
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best."
