Colour Song Lyrics

Now that the light is fading, silver and purple at twilight,

scenes of the day remain with us.

Bright as the fire is burning bright,

Blue as the sky above the lake, and blue the water flowing,

white birch drooping on the shore, her leaves of emerald glowing

The night is robed in spangled black

And soon we shall be sleeping

Beyond the moon that rides on high

The radiant dawn is creeping, creeping

Through the leaves the sunlight came in shafts of gold

Now by the dying embers

We watch the day grow old
