James Taylor - Yellow and Rose Lyrics

Yellow and rose, yellow and rose, yellow and rose

Oh boy, Botany Bay, watchin' the water go by
Here's your home far away, here is a tear for your eye
Here is a vast and unknown land
Here are the strangers on the sand

Oh, seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow
Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go
Everything changes for the strangers on the shore
They are blue and green no more, they are yellow and rose
Yellow and rose, yellow and rose

Down under got the south side of this groovy crazy planet
Watchin' from the outside it's as smooth as a gravy sandwich
People play music night for day
One caught the sun in a sekere

Seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow
Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go
Everything changes for the strangers on the shore
They are blue and green no more, they are yellow and rose

Remember when we thought we were in California
We thought it was the eye of the hurricane
Old gypsy woman she tried to warn you
"You'll be back this way again, hungry for the rain
It's written in your hand, plain"

Seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow
Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go
Everything changes for the strangers on the shore
They are blue and green no more, they are yellow and rose
Yellow and rose, yellow and rose, yellow and rose
They were yellow and rose

Smooth as a gravy sandwich
Working on up, trying to pave the planet
[Incomprehensible]
We wish that a way up there
[Incomprehensible]
