about

I wrote this one on the piano. Not sure what else to say.

lyrics

Up above the river the rising sun
In a ball of laughter we drifted on

Purple river yellow sun
Purple river yellow sun

We could hear the traffic from the motorway
But sky and trees and water were all that we could see

Purple river yellow sun
Purple river yellow sun

Then we heard the water then we heard the waterfall
And then we saw the water then we saw the waterfall
Ah the waterfall
Ah the waterfall

We fell through the limestone to an ancient cave
I saw a look of wonder on everybody’s face

Purple river yellow sun

Shells and bones of dinosaurs
Lonely paintings on the walls
Prehistoric Michelangelos

Purple river yellow sun
Purple river yellow sun

Such a world of wonder aint the world so wonderful
Such a world of wonder aint the world so wonderful
Ah it’s wonderful
Ah it's wonderful

The holiday was over we took the train back home
But still the image lingers in my soul

Purple river yellow sun
Purple river yellow sun
Purple river yellow sun
Purple river yellow sun
