Sign of the Rainbow

(Robbie Robertson)

When I got back to my hometown
I saw the ghosts of yesterday And my godmother bless her soul She still lives down this way Remember when I was just a kid And she would tell a story
Of the rainbow, rainbow
I come to you with an empty heart It’s locked and I’ve lost the key Now she was old and almost blind But she sees more than you or me With her cane pointed towards the sky She said I’ll know if you’ve heard The silence between the words
Of the rainbow, rainbow
No one knows
Where the rainbow goes
Walk down the long road
Your back against the wind Where you can lose yourself again I’ve been down the old road
But that was long ago

I want you to walk with me

When the rains come again
And shine this light over you, rainbow That’s the sign of the rainbow, rainbow Walk on down the hard road That’s buried in your soul
And you can feel the light within Go upon the mountain
That’s painted in the sky
I want you to ride with me When the rains come again
And I will carry you home Walkin’ to the rainbow
The halo of the sun
And you will dance the song of light
I could see forever
High upon the hill
I want you to walk with me When the rains come again
And shine this light over you Rainbow, rainbow
