When The Rainbow Comes

(album: Goodbye Jumbo - 1990)

C'mon, pack your bags
Clear the floor
Let's step out through the open door
Leave a note that says goodbye
Build a new house
Down by the sea
Get to the place we were meant to be
You'll know it when you smile

Up at the window
Search in the sky
Looking for the rainbow
And don't ask why
I wanna see the rainbow come
Hey
We'll be leaving on all sides, hmmm
When the rainbow comes

La la la la...

Mr. Postman look and see
If there's a message in your bag for me
Could be a bomb or it could be a letter
It don't matter it can only get better
Mr. Postman look and see
If there's a message in your bag for me
You know it's been such a long long time
Since I could laugh at this world of mine

Slipping and sliding around in your head
It's be-bop-a-lula then baby you're dead
So c'mon, make a bright new day
I need a prayer here
Need a blessing
Cast an eye back as you run
Turn around, boy
See the rainbow come
Hey
You'll be leaving on all sides
When the rainbow comes
When the rainbow comes
See the world from all sides
When the rainbow comes
When the rainbow comes
Hey
