Rainbow

lyrics

Just beyond the rainbow
Behind the waterfall
Is something that we all must gauge

The possibilities were
Shaky from the start
Potential is its own sweet cage

So tell me that it’s good enough if
I find something small to love
Tell me that the spring and thaw won’t change

Remind me to hold my head up and
That it’s best to laugh at something
‘Cause the lucky ones are old and gray

You may say that life will
Be what it will be
But me, I live in mourning veils

Arriving without reason
Leaving without shame
To see is to see who you’ve failed

So tell me that it’s good enough if
I find something small to love
Tell me that the spring and thaw won’t change

Remind me to hold my head up and
That it’s best to laugh at something
‘Cause the lucky ones are old and gray

Just beyond the treeline
Old elm and new bamboo
Strange shadows in the gloom, slinking

Nothing good between here
And Lake Le Homme Dieu
I’m happiest with you, I think

So tell me that it’s good enough if
I find something small to love
Tell me that the spring and thaw won’t change

Remind me to hold my head up and
That it’s best to laugh at something
‘Cause the lucky ones are old and gray
