Jane Siberry
One More Colour
[Verse 1]
"Is it lasting?"
And in asking
The sphere becomes a line
A dotted line
And to follow it
You must make a jump each time

[Verse 2]
A dotted page
A dotted hillside
A blast of dots
A blind reader
And a flock of sheep
And a blast of trumpet shots

[Chorus]
Here, all we have here is sky
All the sky is is blue
All that blue is is one more colour now

[Verse 3]
A basket of apples
By the back door
Beneath the sweater pegs
The autumn leaves
Lift along the street
A pair of dancing legs
[Verse 4]
Same as the vendor
Who likes to sing
As loudly as he can
And all he says is
It suits me fine
That's the way I am

[Chorus]
Here, all we have here is sky
All the sky is is blue
All that blue is is one more colour now

[Bridge]
I've seen this thing you won't believe
Why it's big
Bigger than the biggest trees
High as the mountains
Wide as the widest skies
And that's both sides
Well, at least as big as me

[Verse 5]
Speak a little softer
And work a little louder
Shoot less with more care
And sing a little sweeter
And love a little longer
And soon you will be there
[Chorus]
Here, all we have here is sky
All the sky is is blue
All that blue is is one more colour
One more colour
One more colour now

[Verse 6]
These are some reasons
And same as the seasons
They hold and then they fly
The goatless ledge
'Neath the honkless geese
In the speckless sky
The speckless sky
I hear you
I hear you
I hear you
