Colors of the World Songtext
von The Innocence Mission

Blue could be a winter coat
Or the sea, Lake Maureen, a window
Or a downpour on my street.
This bit of yellow could be a leaf
Or a beam of light, a girl in a taxi.


And I think of you in the colors of the world.
And I did meet you in the brotherhood of man
When I was traveling a long way from my home
And you are a friend of mine.

Black is the piano you play at school in the lobby,
Looking out at the gray and orange,
Green grass on your feet.

And I think of you in the colors of the world.
And I did meet you in the brotherhood of man
When I was traveling a long way from my home
And you are a friend of mine.
