Rainbows Bent

(альбом: Waterbeds In Trinidad! - 1972)

(Coming down) No I won't waste your time trying to rub it in
(Coming down) Won't pin you to the wall, the pushing in
(Coming down) Just wanna say I know the feeling why
It's all real, and it all counts when rainbows end
If she'll collapse

(Coming down) Once I tried to shoot the moon; I missed the sky
(Coming down) Sad surprise when I discovered why
(Coming down) Just wanna say I know the feeling why
It's all real, every week's rainbow bend
Is just a sweet illusion

Swear I can almost hear the thinking in your head
Almost every mountain has a road around its throat
Nobody flies as the crow flies go, take the winding road
That leads you straight ahead

(Coming down) They say you gotta keep your smile alive
(Coming down) But you just get to wonder why sometime
(Coming down) I'm only good for a little sympathy
And it's as free as all the rest
And it's for keeps, 'cause that's the game
