Colours Lyrics by Donovan

Fairytale

1965

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Blue's the colour of the sky
In the mornin' when we rise
In the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

[Verse 3]
Green's the colour of the sparklin' corn
In the mornin' when we rise
In the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

[Verse 4]
Mellow is the feelin' that I get
When I see her, mm-hmm
When I see her, ah-ha
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 5]
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
