Orange-coloured day
[Verse 1]
Hear the new blue bird whistle out her first song
From the tree that'll be here long after we're gone
The curlicue twirl of a butterfly's grace
Watch her work the day away just to stay in one place
[Chorus]
It takes an orange-coloured day
In a summer-end display
In the wisdom of it all
Singularity's so small
[Verse 2]
Hear the twinkle downstream of the green river pour
How it's never the same as a second before
And you're filled with a warmth you can barely express
A part of the scenery, no more and no less
[Chorus]
It takes an orange-coloured day
In a summer-end display
In the wisdom of it all
Singularity's so small
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Why must I yearn to be maddened by a love
So reckless and pure as a call from a dove?
Such wonders reflected in a haze of nature's ways (Of nature's ways)
Of nature's ways (Of nature's ways)
And orange-coloured days (Orange-coloured days)
Orange-coloured days (Orange-coloured days)
[Scatting]
[Outro]
See the sun's first rays of the morning to peep
Through a gap in the curtains and lull you from sleep
Hear the new blue bird whistle out her first song
From the tree that'll be here long after we're gone
The curlicue twirl of a butterfly's grace
Watch her work the day away just to stay in one place
[Chorus]
It takes an orange-coloured day
In a summer-end display
In the wisdom of it all
Singularity's so small
[Verse 2]
Hear the twinkle downstream of the green river pour
How it's never the same as a second before
And you're filled with a warmth you can barely express
A part of the scenery, no more and no less
[Chorus]
It takes an orange-coloured day
In a summer-end display
In the wisdom of it all
Singularity's so small
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Why must I yearn to be maddened by a love
So reckless and pure as a call from a dove?
Such wonders reflected in a haze of nature's ways (Of nature's ways)
Of nature's ways (Of nature's ways)
And orange-coloured days (Orange-coloured days)
Orange-coloured days (Orange-coloured days)
[Scatting]
[Outro]
See the sun's first rays of the morning to peep
Through a gap in the curtains and lull you from sleep
