Wear Your Love Like Heaven - Single Version

This very psychedelic song is a nod to the divine, conjuring up images of nature's colors and invoking both God and Allah. Heavy stuff.

In a Songfacts interview with Donovan, we asked how he came up with the vibrant images that appear in the lyric. Lines like: Color sky Havana lake Color sky rose carmethene Alizarian crimson Donovan explained that like many great songwriters - Joni Mitchell, John Lennon, Bob Dylan among them - he dabbled in art and thought in terms of paintings. This song is an example of translating images on a canvas into words. "'Wear Your Love Like Heaven' was really a paint-ily song - watching a sunset go down," he said.

This song was used in the Simpsons episode "Weekend at Bernsie's" when Homer is partaking in Medicinal Marijuana.
