the soundtrack of long life

We have been told that white stands for purity.
I've heard it whispered, the fair are of God.
Someone said colours are all in a rainbow.
I'm saying to you there are some they forgot.

Down in the gutter I heard someone crying.
Also heard laughter to add to the role.
That's the confusion and pain that I'm feeling.
Reach for my hand and I'll give you my soul.

Thinking's a headache, that's why we avoid it.
Thought reveals truth and the pain of the facts.
Now I see rainbows of many more colours.
Beauty is red, yellow, pink, brown, and black.

A Word About Colour, Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and The Trinity

A very sixties sort of song, from when the World was young and innocent.
