Blue For the Rainbow

Summer is a happy time, look around, it is a time for new creation
In the field the birds and bees, they resound in stupefied elation
Animals go and move about most their waking lives
Yes they’re making a mess of layered pathways

Cars are going here and there, stop and go, a metal army on the move
I try for some stability but nevertheless I’m bouncing in and out the groove
Summer is a happy time, the planet spins, and it’s okay when we are clueless
Heaven has a lovely hue, or it’s my eyes that fill the empty space with blueness

Blue for the rainbow, blue for the sky
Blue for the paths that went astray, woh, woh, woh, woh
Blue for the rainbow, blue for the sky
Blue makes my clouds drift away

I thought I’d stick around awhile but things came up that made me leave my home and neighbors
I heard of people getting caught, a silver net, and some are waiting for a savior
I’m holding on to the days of the week, but what’s the larger scheme
And who are the muted strangers in my dreams

Moving targets left and right, but still we dance as if the world is mostly stable
The field is lit by fireflies, you hold me tight, the night is cool and moist and sable
Summer is a happy time, the planet spins, and it’s okay when we are clueless
Heaven has a lovely hue, or it’s my eyes that fill the empty space with blueness

chorus

Once upon a time there was a wise queen who gave the ladies milk and honey
And she let the horses loose, they ran off to roam the wide and fertile prairie
Morning sun was a golden touch, keeping troubles at bay
If I were that queen I’d cherish every day

Yes, the famous novelist said, to create she needs a room of her own
A space to try her new ideas, a cocoon, let the voices come and go
Summer is a happy time, the planet spins, and it’s okay when we are clueless
Heaven has a lovely hue, or it’s my eyes that fill the empty space with blueness

chorus

Summer is a happy time
