Favourite Colours


Those two colours settin’ yonder
Are my favourite ones of all
Where the sky divides its favours
On the fallow of the fall
And they set on ‘til December
‘Til there’s no colour left but Cold
And it just waits from top to bottom
To remind us of how we’re old

April comes a lady
Wearing only matted grass
Standing out beneath the arch
That swallows pieces of the past
And Summer’s thunder laden columns
Stretch to take up all the sky
But that line of wheat below ‘em
Keeps those colours in my eye

I tried to put this to a young’un
I set to lay these wonders down
But he said, “That ain’t no magic.
That’s just blue, and that there’s brown.”
Now I remember my own folly
When I would name the tings I met
When I was young I too held brown and blue
As the colours yonder set

Comes a time the mind comes empty
And just can’t help but to forget
All the words for all the pretty things
And the tales of how we met
So when I wake up and greet the morning
I clear my head of every name
I look out across the prairies
And meet those colours new again
