Picture yourself in a boat on a river

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes


[Bridge] 3/4
Ab                    Bb         Bb/D
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
      G/D           G7/F       C/E         Eb
Where rocking-horse people eat marshmallow pies
G/D      G7/F          C/E            Cm/Eb
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
     G/D       G7/F    | C/E | % | C | C/Bb |
That grow so incredibly high

With plasticine porters with looking-glass ties
