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
