lyrics

A blue rose
Coloured skin
Red sky
A pearl pin

Tt took a laugh to get me in.
The door swung open,
Let love begin.

But you know the heart,
Is a secret place,
Distant, dark,
So hard to trace.

But you threw a spark,
With your embrace,
And the morning light,
Is shining in your face.

Who sent this stranger,
Who could speak my name?
Who laughed at the danger,
In dancing in the woods,
When the moon is full,
And the bear cubs are purring,
With the whippoorwill?

Night falls,
Curtains close,
It's the silent time
The lonely heart knows.
Walk the halls,
Wind the clock,
The nightbird calls,
The door is locked.

A cold walk,
On a barren field,
Some plain talk,
Would improve the yield.
It's time to leave
This war behind,
The shattered hearts,
The destroyed minds.

Who sent this stranger,
Who knew my song?
Who loves the danger,
In singing to the moon,
When the wind is high,
The cougars dance,
And the ravens sigh?

I'm the lonely faller,
Dust inside my collar,
Mushrooms on my boots.

It was hidden in my heart,
Right from the start,
How not to trip on the roots.

Just sing:

Be bop a diddly bop
Dance until your heart stops,
Sing it from the tree top,
She's sweeter than a lemon drop.

Be bop a diddly bop,
Avoid that flip flop,
Cross over the river,
Got a song to deliver.

Alright.

A blue rose
Coloured skin
Red sky
Pearl pin

It took a laugh to get me in.
The door swung open,
Let love begin.
The door swung open,
Let love begin.
The door swung open,
Let love,
Let love begin.
