In the green morning I wanted to be a heart. A heart.And in the ripe evening I wanted to be a nightingale. A nightingale.(Soul, turn orange-colored. Soul, turn the color of love.)In the vivid morning I wanted to be myself. A heart.And at the evening's end I wanted to be my voice. A nightingale.Soul, turn orange-colored. Soul, turn the color of love.
