James Taylor - Yellow And Rose lyrics

Notes:

JT on Sony.com: Botany Bay is where they brought the convicts. . .The dregs of British society who became the finest nation on God's green earth. . . beautiful. Yellow and Rose is a half baked thing about transportation, transformation and Australia.

Yellow and Rose

Yellow and Rose

Yellow and Rose

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

Oh, seeds of the universe ever endeavor 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

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 sekere

Seeds of the universe ever endeavor 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

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"

Seeds of the universe ever endeavor 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

Yellow and Rose

Yellow and Rose

Yellow and Rose
