This is one of my favourite songs. It's by a once Lancashire folk group. I say once, because due to political interference, the town of Stalybridge moved over night from Lancashire to Cheshire. The song was written in 1976 by two of the group, John Meeks and Colin Radcliff. The group is still going strong today. You can read how much the words mean, but the music is excellent and add even more to the words. For more information go to http://www.5pp.co.uk
Watercolour Morning
It’s a watercolour morning
get your paint box and your paper
while the sun comes round
don’t make a sound
by the fence across the meadow
there’s a rabbit gently playing
by the water side
no time to hide, no time to hide.
The trees a kind of misty green
cool grey shadow in between
the shy is blue and I love you
so sit you down and free your hair
let it fall unto the ground
all around you
let me paint you.
It’s a watercolour morning
Trouble gone and piece falling
All around you
I’ve found you
I’ll paint you in among the scene
Immortalize you in my dream
I’ve found you
Glad that I found you
Now God made cows of black and white
To make my picture nice and bright
Flowers in between of yellow,
yellow blue and green
my brush moves quickly over paper
colour flows to catch the light
that’s in your smile
now we’ll rest a while
It’s a watercolour morning
paint is dry and love is falling
all around you
I’ve found you
We’ll lie among the blues and greens
and live another lovely dream
I’ve found you
Glad that I found you.
