Colours - Donovan (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Colours (Donovan, 1965). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2021-12-18. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"Colours" was Donovan's second entry onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart stalling at #61 in 1965 (Whitburn, 2013). Interesting that Donovan, or the record company, did not use his original 1965 recording of the song for his 1969 greatest hits album; instead, he/they employed Big Jim Sullivan to play guitar, John Paul Jones bass and keyboards, and Clem Cattini drums, and Mickie Most produced it (Wikipedia, 2021).

Lyrics:

Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair
In the mornin' when we rise
In the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

Green's the colour of the sparklin' corn
In the mornin' when we rise
In the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

Blue's the colour of the sky
In the mornin' when we rise
In the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

Mellow is the feeling that I get
When I see her, mm hmm
When I see her, uh huh
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinkin', mm hmm
Without thinkin', mm hmm
Of the time, of the time
When I've been loved

Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair
In the mornin' when we rise
In the mornin' when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best
