Lookin' For My Rainbow

(album: The New Age - 1973)

Shades of white and blue and yellow
And hues of red which could make a man mellow
When up is down and down's too low
(Up is down and down's too low)
And high is not now where can I go
(High is not where can I go)

Looking for my rainbow
(Looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(Looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow

We all come from time and space
(We all come from time and space)
In vain we search from place to place
(Searching from place to place)
Feeling pain and knowing sorrow
(Feeling pain and knowing sorrow)
And never thinking about tomorrow
(Never thinking about tomorrow)

Looking for my rainbow
(Looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(I'm looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow

There's a way that some men give
(There's a way that some men give)
Giving what they can, give when they give
(When when when they give)
Ain't no time for feeling down
(Ain't no time for feeling down)
Lord have mercy on all around
(Lord have mercy on all around)

Looking for my rainbow
(I'm looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(I'm looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(Oh yes I am)

Sometimes I hear the old whistle blowing
(Can't you hear that whistle blowing?)
See the rusted cans on the boxcar floor
(Rusted cans on the box car floor)
Shades of white, and blue, and yellow
(Blue and yellow)
Without me through the open door
(Well, well, an open door)

Looking for my rainbow
(I'm looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(Looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(Oh yes I am)

Crystal lady, you're my one friend
(Friend, you're my friend)
And the red on white tells her where I've been
(Now you know just where I've been)
And if this life shouting for me
(When this life shouting for me)
I know my life's got no guarantee
(Know my life's got no guarantee)

Looking for my rainbow
(I'm looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(Looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(Looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(I'm looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(Looking for my rainbow)
Looking for my rainbow
(Looking for my rainbow)
I'm looking for my rainbow
(Yes, yes...)
