Guess my colours
I am the wrinkled trunk
That picks a flower
And uproots a tree
And uproots a tree
I am the feathers
That fan out in dance
Under overcast skies
That fan out in dance
Under overcast skies
I am the centre
Of the bull 's eye,
Poached, hardboiled
Of the bull 's eye,
Poached, hardboiled
I am the bird
Sent out by Noah
After the flood
Sent out by Noah
After the flood
I am the backdrop
Against which
Against which
stars shine
I am the eye
Of the universe
Burning, giving life
Of the universe
Burning, giving life
I am the river
That runs in our veins
Spilling when sliced
That runs in our veins
Spilling when sliced
I am what's left
After the last leaf
Has fallen
