Rainbow Blues
I asked for a rainbow
But you left me these blues
No colors in between
Since you broke the news
You’re spending your time
Under the midnight sun
Well, tell me does it shine on you
All night long
All night long
You brought me red roses
When you were mine
And sent me sweet, sweet letters
Then changed your mind
Now those flowers won’t grow
Where those winter winds blow
But why is your heart growing colder
I’ll never know
Where is your sweet love
I thought it would stay
It doesn’t matter if you’re 3,000 miles away
It wouldn’t change a thing
If you flew to the moon
No distance is too far
If you’re coming back soon
Would you be coming back soon
Now it seems that we’re losing
What we tried hard to keep
But I still taste your kisses every night
And when I see rainbows I still think of you
But through all those colors I only see blue
Where is your sweet love
I thought it would stay
It doesn’t matter if you’re 3,000 miles away
It wouldn’t change a thing
If you flew to the moon
No distance is too far
If you’re coming back soon
No, it wouldn’t change a thing
If you flew to the moon
No distance is too far if you’d come back
And take these rainbow blues
Come back and take these rainbow blues
