lyrics

Red Green White Blue
words and music by Rain Perry
2001 Precipitous Music/BMI

The creator of this valley
Was not afraid of bold lines
Red rocks, green hay, white clouds, blue sky
But if I were to paint it
I would worry every rhyme
And surely heed the cry

Of every phone call I've been putting off
All the laundry left undone
Whatever might dilute the intensity
Like an uncut drug
Or a confession of love
That mainlines the poetry

Red rock — green hay
White cloud — blue sky
Give me strength I pray
Ease my mind

Then it comes laughing from the canyon walls
The answer is so plain
Any fool could see it right away
It's the the heavens and earth I'm forging here
Just a simple refrain
To paint a picture of this lovely day

Red rock — green hay — white cloud — blue sky
Red rock — green hay — white cloud — blue sky
