Rainbow Blues

The rain wasn't made of water

The snow didn't have a place in the sun

So we slipped behind the rainbow

And laid back till we had done

And then the rain wasn't made of water

And the snow didn't have a place in the sun

So we slipped behind the rainbow

And laid back till we had done

Through northern lights on back streets

I told the coachman: "Just drive me on

It's the same old destination

But a different world to sing upon"

So he threw back his head and he counted

I got out about five to nine

And I waved at the stage door-keeper

Said: "Mister, get me to the stage on time"

And then the rain wasn't made of water

And the snow didn't have a place in the sun

So I slipped behind a rainbow

And laid back till we had done

I packed my ammunition

Inside the crowd was shouting: "Encore"

But I had a most funny feeling

It wasn't me they were shouting for

So when the tall dark lady smiled at me

I said: "Oh, baby let us go for a ride"

And we came upon two drinks or four

And popped them oh, so neatly inside

And then the rain wasn't made of water

And the snow didn't have a place in the sun

So we slipped behind a rainbow

And laid back till we had done

Let me pack you deep in my suitcase

Oh, there's sure to be room for two

Or you can drive me to the airplane

But don't let me catch those rainbow blues

And then the rain wasn't made of water

And the snow didn't have a place in the sun

So we slipped behind a rainbow

And laid back till we had done

Yeah, so then the rain wasn't made of water

And the snow didn't have a place in the sun

So we slipped behind the rainbow

And laid back till we had done

The rain wasn't made of water

The snow didn't have a place in the sun

The rain wasn't made of water

The snow didn't have a place in the sun
