When I got back to my hometown

I saw the ghosts of yesterday

And my godmother bless her soul

She still lives down this way

Remember when I was just a kid

And she would tell a story



Of the rainbow

Rainbow



I come to you with an empty heart

It's locked and I've lost the key

Now she was old and almost blind

But she sees more than you or me

With her cane pointed towards the sky

She said I'll know if you've heard

The silence between the words



Of the rainbow

Rainbow

No one knows

Where the rainbow goes



Walk down the long road

Your back against the wind

Where you can lose yourself again

I've been down the old road

But that was long ago

I want you to walk with me

When the rains come again

And shine this light over you



Rainbow

That's the sign of the rainbow



Walk on down the hard road

That's buried in your soul

And you can feel the light within

Go upon the mountain

That's painted in the sky

I want you to ride with me

When the rains come again

And I will carry you home



Walkin to the rainbow

The halo of the sun

And you will dance the song of light

I could see forever

High upon the hill

I want you to walk with me

When the rains come again

And shine this light over you

Rainbow

Rainbow
