James Taylor
Yellow and Rose
[Intro]
Yellow and rose, yellow and rose, yellow and rose
[Verse 1]
Oh boy, Botany Bay, watching the water go by
Here's your home so far away, here is a tear for your eye
Here is a vast and unknown land, here are the strangers on the sand
[Chorus]
Oh, seeds of the universe ever endeavour to grow
Tiny pieces of everything, into the water they go
Everything changes for the strangers on the shore
They are blue and green no more, they are yellow and rose
[Verse 2]
Down under got the south side, this groovy crazy planet
Watching from the outside, it's as smooth as a gravy sandwich
People play music night for day, one caught the sun in a seeker
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Remember when we thought we were in California? We thought it was the eye of the hurricane
Old gypsy woman she tried to warn you, "You'll be back this way again
Hungry for the rain, it's written in your hand, plain
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Yellow and rose, yellow and rose, yellow and rose
