A Word About Colour

We have been told,
that white stands for purity.
I've heard it whispered,
the fair are of God.
Someone said colours are all in a rainbow.
I'm saying to you,
there are some they forgot.

Down in the gutter,
I heard someone crying.
Also heard laughter,
to add to the role.
That's the confusion and pain that I'm feeling.
Give me your hand,
And I'll give you my soul.

Thinking's a headache.
That's why we avoid it.
Thought reveals truth and the pain of the fact.
Now I see rainbows,
of many more colours.

Beauty is

Red

Yellow

Pink

Brown

and

Black.

The thought provoking words written above are actually the lyrics to a song performed by Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and The Trinity.
"A Word About Colour" featured on their 1968 "Streetnoise" album.
I first heard this song when I was 16 and have carried it with me for many a year now.
It is also the only song that I can remember all the words to.
There is actually no music, just Julie Driscoll's wonderfully haunting vocals.
