about

This track is dedicated to the Portuguese city of Porto, a beautiful and welcoming European city, and to the hills around Ullapool, where you can see the greenest of greens jostling amongst each other in a rainbow of greenness!

lyrics

This rainbow of the colour green will fade my fears away
I know what never could have been, the mistakes of yesterday
The morning mists of century will cool my burning heart
And clear to show the road ahead, that's where I'm bound to start.

Baptise my body in the breeze of blossom scented air;
The sun it brings me symmetry; there's no dark sky anywhere.
I'll be an atom in a raindrop, a leaf upon a tree
The silver clouds pass silently while I wait patiently

More colours than I've ever seen, and every one fo them is green
More colours than I've ever seen, and every single one is green.

This rainbow of the colour green's a pleasure to my eyes.
Upon a rocky hill I'm standing breathing in the sky.
At every dawning daybreak, I forgive the day before
The troubles I had yesterday can't hurt me any more.

More colours than I've ever seen, and every one fo them is green
More colours than I've ever seen, and every single one is green.
More colours than I've ever seen, and every one fo them is green
More colours than I've ever seen, and every single one is green.
