Colours
by Donovan

Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair
In the mornin' when we rise,
In the mornin' when we rise,
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best

 ¸.•*¨*¸.•*¨`*ི♥ྀღ •♫♪ ¨*•♫♪ ♥♥ღ(｡◕‿◕｡)ღ ♥♥

Blue's the colour of the sky
In the mornin' when we rise,
In the mornin' when we rise.
in the mornin' when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best.

¸¸.•*¨*¸.•*¨`*ི♥ྀღ •♫♪ ¨*•♫♪ ♥♥ღ(｡◕‿◕｡)ღ ♥♥

Green's the colour of the sparklin' corn 
In the mornin' when we rise,
In the mornin' when we rise.
in the mornin' when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best.
¸¸.•*¨*¸.•*¨`*ི♥ྀღ •♫♪ ¨*•♫♪ ♥♥ღ(｡◕‿◕｡)ღ ♥♥

Mellow is the feeling that I get
when I see her, mm hmm,
when I see her, uh huh.
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best.

  ¸¸.•*¨*¸.•*¨`*ི♥ྀღ •♫♪ ¨*•♫♪ ♥♥ღ(｡◕‿◕｡)ღ ♥♥

Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinkin', mm hmm,
Without thinkin', mm hmm,
Of the time, of the time
When I've been loved.

♥

    Ah, Liz, Donovan and this song! You made me very nostalgic–I have that LP somewhere…..need to pull it out and play it before it and the old record player gets packed in my pre-moving frenzy. Thanks for bringing colours and a smile to my face this morning. LOVE is a RAINBOW!

    Thank you, Liz. I believe the original of this song, “Black if the Color of My True Love’s Hair” is derived from a very old Scottish tune. Thank you for bringing us Donovan’s modern day lyrics and thank you for your watercolor!

    …and, this morning the sunrise was a true “alizarin crimson”. Donovan was truly a refuge for me in the crazy 60’s. His music is so gentle, loving, and wise. Equating freedom with love and celebrating the beauty of this earth in reverent lyrical sweetness is a great way to start this day.
    I think I will play my Donovan CD’s in the car next week while I drive around seeing patients. Liz, thanks for the lovely reminder of Donovan. Let’s keep “Wearing our Love Like Heaven.”

    Thanks, Liz, for this wonderful work break! I stopped my caring for others and took care of myself by looking at your beautiful painting and listening to folk music–brought a smile. In prayer this morning I asked for some evidence of God at my work today, and your art the music about love provided it.

    I am grateful to receive these colors of love that you have painted in kind expressions to dazzle the hearts of many.
    May we especially keep close in heart our loved ones who are courageously serving to protect us, or who have served our country. Let us reverently honor each one today.
    I received this blessing via e-mail in response to this post and I have Talia’s permission to share it with you.
    “May the spring breezes blow wonder through your days,
    Blowing kisses of their sweetness and the magic of the fey,
    And may all the bluebells bloom inside,
    Where the sparkling doorways open wide
    Where everything is given,
    The Goddus dances in the green,
    Old magic is returning in a once and future dream
    A once and future dream
    From a song ‘old magic’, written by yours truly
    All the Best,
    Talia Rose

    Liz,
    Your Water color paintings are sublime! I had no idea how talented you are and water color has always been my favorite medium.
    Donovan, I was such a fan in my teens, thanks for the memories!
