[Intro] [Verse 1] I took the towpath when the clocks said noon The water throwing colour like a painted room Barges in green and a roof in red A willow leaning down to comb its head [Chorus] Colours on the river path Every stone a little stained-glass Colours on the river path I could walk this way for a year and a half The day is wide and the day is kind Colours on the river path [Verse 2] An orchard on the bank with the apples lit A dog in a doorway, a kite in a fit I don't need a reason, I don't need a map Just a pocket of time and a sun-warmed back [Chorus] Colours on the river path Every stone a little stained-glass Colours on the river path I could walk this way for a year and a half The day is wide and the day is kind Colours on the river path [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] If the weather turns I'll still go slow There's a lock and a bench and a way to know That the world can open without a word Just a path, a river, a passing bird [Final Chorus] Colours on the river path Every stone a little stained-glass Colours on the river path I could walk this way for a year and a half The day is wide and the day is kind Colours on the river path [Outro] [End]
