Here's a rainbow I have found

Now I wrap my arms around it

On a bus to leave this town

I have tried so long to make it

Here's a girl I call her bliss

She is my idea of heaven

For a kiss I give my dreams

I couldn't stand the thought of failure

She has chased and fought

Been pushed and shoved

She has gone too long without anybody's love





Don't call her back, that road isn't mine

Don't tell me she's gone and that love isn't blind

And heaven only knows why roses are never blue

And that love is to war

What I am to you





Here's a rose she painted blue

Though the colour has since faded

Just something she had to prove

That nothing lasts forever

She has lied and fought, rose darling hurt her

Now she's gone too long without anybody's love



Don't call her back, that road isn't mine

Don't tell me she's gone and that love isn't blind

And heaven only knows why roses are never blue

And that love is to war

What I am to you
