Donovan - Colours

Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair in the mornin?. When we rise,
In the mornin? when we rise
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

Blue is the colour of the sky
In the mornin? when we rise,
In the mornin? when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

Green's the colour of the sparklin? corn
In the mornin? when we rise,
In the mornin? when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

Mellow is the feelin? that I get
When I see her, mm, hmm,
When I see her, uh, huh.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinkin?, mm, hmm,
Without thinkin?, mm, hmm,
Of the time, of the time
When I've been loved.

Donovan - Jennifer Juniper
==========================

Jennifer, Juniper, lives upon the hill.
Jennifer, Juniper, sitting very still.
Is she sleeping? I don't think so.
Is she breathing? Yes, very low.
Watcha doung Fennifer my love?

Jennifer, Juniper, rides a dappled mare.
Jennifer, Juniper lilacs in her hair.
Is she dreaming? Yes I think so.
Is she pretty? Yes ever so.
Watcha doing, Jennifer my love?

I'm thinking of || what would it be like if she loved me.
You know just lately
This happy song, it came along and I had || to somehow try and tell you

Jennifer, Juniper, hair of golden flax
Jennifer, Juniper longs for what she lacks.
Do you like her? Yes I do, Sir!
Would you love her? Yes I would, Sir!
Watcha doing Jennifer my love?

Jennifer, Juniper, Jennifer, Juniper, Jennifer, Juniper
Donovan - Atlantis

The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land,
That from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed
To the South and the North Americas with ease,
In their ships with painted sails.

To them East Africa was a neighbour,
Across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is
But a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis.

Knowing her fate,
Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician,
The farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice
And let us sing
And dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!

Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.

Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.

My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
I wanna see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
My antediluvian baby,
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,
Girl, I wanna see you some day.

My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I wanna see you some day, oh
My antediluvian baby.

My antediluvian baby, I wanna see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I wanna see you some day
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah
Oh club club, down down, yeah
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
