Jane Siberry One More Color Lyrics

"is it lasting?" and in asking
the sphere becomes a line
a dotted line, and to follow it
you must make a jump each time

a dotted page, a dotted hillside
a blast of dots
a blind reader and a flock of sheep
and a blast of trumpet shots

here, all we have here is sky
all the sky is, is blue
all that blue is, is one more colour now

a basket of apples by the back door
beneath the sweater pegs
the autumn leaves lift along the street
a pair of dancing legs

same as the vendor
who likes to sing as loudly as he can
and all he says is, "it suits me fine,
that's the way i am".

here, all we have here is sky
all the sky is, is blue
all that blue is, is one more color now

i've seen this thing you won't believe
why it's big
bigger than the biggest trees
high as the mountains
wide as the widest skies
and that's both sides
well, at least as big as me

speak a little softer,
work a little louder,
shoot less with more care,
and sing a little sweeter
and love a little longer
and soon you will be there

here, all we have here is sky
all the sky is, is blue
all that blue is, is one more colour,
one more colour,
one more colour, now

these are some reasons
and same as the seasons
they hold and then they fly
the goatless ledge
'neath the honkless geese
in the speckless sky,
the speckless sky

i hear you, i hear you
i hear...
...you
