about

Great song written by Geof Land, one of our favorite sit in guests. We gave the tune a little latin rhythm twist and decided to let all three of flutes player create a woodwind ensemble to give it an eerie (airy?) sound. Mysterioso.....

lyrics

The Color of Love
by Geof Land

There’s a soldier on the sand in a faraway land, and he cries for the wounded and the dead
As he tries to recall if there’s a reason for all, as the sand turns a deeper shade of red
There’s a woman on her knees saying, “Please, God please, don’t you steal my man from me.
“Don’t let him die,” is her she plea to the sky, eyes as wet and as blue as the sea

Chorus
The Color of Love, the Color of Love.
Full as the earth and the sky above
The Color of Love, the Color of Love.
Oh, . . . . . The Color of Love

Out by a prison where the sun’s barely risen, an old man wipes a tear away
His son is standing with his love in his hand, in the magic of his wedding day
Down by the water stands the preacher’s daughter, and she whispers that “You are the one.”.
As her man slides a ring on her trembling finger, and it glimmers in the golden sun
REPEAT CHORUS

At the edge of the city, out of hope and of pity, a child plants a humblin’ seed
She knows no machine that can make such green, so she knows her purpose fills a need
Years from now, ‘neath the battered plow, we’ll hear death’s steady pace
We may be shattered but we’ll know what mattered was the color of our love’s embrace
REPEAT CHORUS
