Lyrics

Sickness and flowers go together
Bombing and shelters go together
Laughing and hurting go together
Finding and keeping go together
Canary yellow, mustard yellow
Yellow tear stains on old pillows
Everyone loves a story
About long, long ago
Pirates and parrots go together
Sticks and carrots go together
Loving and leaving go together
Lies and believing go together
Canary yellow, mustard yellow
Yellow tear stains on old pillows
Everyone loves a story
About far, far away
Living and dying go together
Business and crying go together
Passion and madness go together
Yellow and sadness go together
Canary yellow, mustard yellow
Yellow tear stains on old pillows
Everyone loves a story
About far, far away
Everyone loves a story
About long, long ago
And what, what might've been
