Yellow & Rose Lyrics - James Taylor

Yellow and rose, yellow and rose, yellow and rose 

Oh boy, Botany Bay, watchin' the water go by 

Here's your home far away, here is a tear for your eye 

Here is a vast and unknown land 

Here are the strangers on the sand 

Oh, seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow 

Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go 

Everything changes for the strangers on the shore 

They are blue and green no more, they are yellow and rose 

Yellow and rose, yellow and rose 

Down under got the south side of this groovy crazy planet 

Watchin' from the outside it's as smooth as a gravy sandwich 

People play music night for day 

One caught the sun in a sekere 

Seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow 

Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go 

Everything changes for the strangers on the shore 

They are blue and green no more, they are yellow and rose 

Remember when we thought we were in California 

We thought it was the eye of the hurricane 

Old gypsy woman she tried to warn you 

"You'll be back this way again, hungry for the rain 

It's written in your hand, plain" 

Seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow 

Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go 

Everything changes for the strangers on the shore 

They are blue and green no more, they are yellow and rose 

Yellow and rose, yellow and rose, yellow and rose 

They were yellow and rose 

Smooth as a gravy sandwich 

Working on up, trying to pave the planet 

[Incomprehensible] 

We wish that a way up there 

[Incomprehensible]
