Jimmy Buffett
Colour of the Sun
[Verse 1]
Touching down, high wire clown
Balances dreams that he's chosen
Northern lights all draped around
Melting stream that was frozen

[Verse 2]
Bicycles with rusted wheels
The frame in need of adjusting
Red sky night that Fred Neil feels
Back when the Grove wasn't bustling

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The working tide will come around again
A serenade lies waiting in the wind

[Chorus 1]
For all your worldly treasures
There's nothing to be won
Nothing left to measure
Just you and me and the colour of the sun

[Verse 3]
Wild-eyed child wonders how
The sky connects to the ocean
Spinning fast then as now
She's unaware of the motion
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The wise men and the fools keep taking turns
Every day more bridges seem to burn

[Chorus 2]
With all your vaults of treasure
Would you trade them for some fun?
What's the price of pleasure
Just you and me

[Bridge]
You can add subtract divide or multiply
Watch the particles collide
And trust the stars up in the sky

[Verse 4]
Sand dunes gone, snatched by a storm
Are the poles really shifting?
Gypsy rains wash o'er the plains
Wood and dreams are still drifting

[Pre-Chorus 3]
The best the times can still somehow be found
Even the worst of beaches will never let you down

[Chorus 3]
For all your worldly treasures
For your battles lost and won
Nothing left to measure
Just you and me and the colour of the sun
