my color wheel

listen

lyrics

marigold, cabernet
cool chartreuse and lime and rouge and champagne
sweet tea rose, cobalt blue
yellow ochre, fig, and hollyhock too
my baby loves me, she lights my fuse
so many shades, so many tones, so many tints, so many hues
pale maroon
yellow moon
blue lagoon
graphite black, heather grey
lipstick red, sky blue, and cafe au lait
lemon-lime, aubergine
burnt sienna, ash, or emerald green
so many shades of gray
a million reds, a million greens
to light a million christmas days
there’s prawn, there’s coral, there’s salmon, there’s flesh
all there used to be was pink
your love revealed a color wheel
snow white to india ink
first you see the primary three,
and then roy g biv alone
but now there’s ivory, ecru and flax,
there’s even baby powder and bone
milky white, baby blue
mustard, olive, mignonette, and cashew
indigo and lapis lazuli
the rest of the blues from teal to midnight to sky
since you’ve loved me, i see the light
a world i never saw before now big and bold and bright
tangerine
sea foam green
aquamarine
rose parade
yellow jade
summer shade
pale maroon
yellow moon
blue lagoon
