I've traveled this whole world over and now I'm goin' down to the rainbow's end
|
From twilight till dawn trudging on and on on my way to the rainbow's end
|
I'm weary and tired but I don't care I'm goin' down to the rainbow's end
|
No friends no home just travelin' alone I'm on my way to the rainbow's end
|
They say there are treasures of silver and gold burried down by the rainbow's end
|
But the treasure I'll find will bring me real peace of mind
|
When we come to the rainbow's end
|
Down in the garden there's a little white gate which most dream folks always attent
|
And just inside there's a little path that leads towards the rainbow's end
|
And down at the end there's a sign that reads love that will never die
|
Now no one can travel out the path no one but you and I
|
How I wish the little gate will open and that you might walk with me
|
Down to the end of that rainbow to the sign on that old oak tree
|
And how I wish that your arms would hold me and that your lips might touch mine too
|
Cause I can't travel up that path with anyone else but you
|
Say we can only stay for just a minute and we must never go back there again
|
But we'd know the sign on that old oak tree and we could see the rainbow's end
|
Then we'd swing the little gate shot again while the morning glorys would creep
|
And all of the sign's not old rainbow we can have our hearts for to keep
|
For someone has waited there all alone so I know at the rainbow's end
|
How it feels to be pressed to an angel's breast when I come to the rainbow's end
|
