Lyrics
THERE?S A RAINBOW
Did you really think that I could walk away from you
Without a word, without a reason why
I?ve been loving you too long to leave you holding on
But there?s no easy way to say goodbye.
I can see my wild ambition tearing you apart
I?m never gonna be the man you need
And I don?t want to leave you with a broken heart
While I?m chasing my elusive dreams.
Believe me when I say, I can see no other way
Chorus
But there?s a rainbow at the end of the line
When it looks like everything, makes no sense at the time
There is someone, someone waiting for you
There?s a Rainbow, at the end of the line.
I?ve always been a music man I?ll never change
And to settle down has been your one desire
The part of me that loves you wants to make you stay
But love is not enough without the fire
Chorus
(Mid 8)
There?s a dream that won?t come true and a lonely August moon
For everyone
But there?s loving everywhere
Keep on looking it?s out there for you.
But there?s a rainbow at the end of the line
When it looks like everything, makes no sense at the time
There is someone, someone waiting for you
There?s a Rainbow, at the end of the line.
