Rainbow Blues Lyrics

Through Northern Lights on back streets I told the coachman, “Just drive me on It's the same old destination But the difference was to sing upon”
So he threw back his head and he counted I jumped out about five to nine And I waved at the stage doorkeeper Said, “Mister, get me to the stage on time”
Oh, but 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 waited 'til the show had done, yes
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
Oh, and 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 there until we had done, yeah, so
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
Oh, and 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 there until we had done
Oh, and 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 there until we had done, ohh
