lyrics

Refrain
Green, orange, brown and grey
Are the colours I sing all the day
They’re the colours of me, the colours of you
The song of the seasons too (x2)

Grey’s where the colour rests
Where the song lies under my breast
It’s the time of the year when the life moves within
It’s when I build my own nest

Green is there if you look
It grows from my earthly brown
It’s the life you can see
It’s the loving in me
The light of a new spring day

Refrain

Orange is my fiery breast
That rules my heart you see
It stands for the life that’s revealed within
Summer’s own glory in me

I’m a Robin by now you have guessed
I’m the seasons where life is all blessed
If you see this in you, you’ll see me there too
The song of the sky in the blue

Refrain x 2
