(alternate C – G repeats)
Looking out my window on a grey day
a steel wall in front of me
I’d like to see the waves
They might be blue
You can’t say if you can see
Am G Em
Maybe it is sunny on the other side of this
Am G E
Monochromatic endless abyss
F G
I would like to take you somewhere
C Am
High above this cloud
F G
I could like to take you somewhere
Am D G
But I don’t know how
Listen to the rain fall and the stinging ice
That’s kicking off the leaves
I think I remember green
But it isn’t anywhere that I can see
Maybe there’s a meadow with a million blossoms
And a thousand colours
Wouldn’t that be awesome?
I would like to take you somewhere
Far away from here
I would like to take you somewhere
Somewhere the sky is clear
F G
Somewhere that you are mine
F G C G-Am-D
And I am not colour blind
D – A Repeats
Laying by a green hill
Is a red shore beneath and azure sky
The ocean stains us blue
As the current goes finger painting by
Bm A Fm
Like a dream of a painting by Monet
Bm A F
It’s just a fantasy let’s take it anyway
G A
I would like to take you somewhere
D Bm
Beyond all we know
G A
I would like to take you somewhere
Bm E
Tell me you’d like to go
G A
Somewhere that you are mine
G A D
And I am not colour blind
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
