Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. June 21, 2021]

Hey I hope
The winter sun will shine upon my heliotrope
A kaleidoscope
Land on sand like any man who comes
And it's all an encounter with themselves
And they think of their lord
And they cut the cord

Once I thought I could fly just because a bird I caught
But it came to naught
Once I said if only your sweet words could go to my head
And love instead

Watercolour world, ten to four
Nobody I know been there before

Watercolour world, postcard fade
Lazy afternoon in the shade

Watercolour world down by the pools
Crabs all around like lovesick fools

Watercolour world
Watercolour world
Watercolour world
