Wishing For A Rainbow - The Flatlanders

Standing at a crossroad in the rain

I been here before, I can’t complain

Must be something in the book of revelation

Keeps on messing with my destination

That big old city nearly did me in

I got my doubts if I’ll go there again

Turning back could turn into a heartbreak

Tonight I just need some shelter from a heartache

Wishing for a rainbow

Listen to the wind blow

Wondering how can love grow

Wishing for a rainbow

I wonder if she found her way to Denver

If she still needs the love I said I’d send her

Like roses untended may grow withered

Love letters in my heart go undelivered

Shattered glass all scattered 'cross the floor

Some fellow left his suitcase by the door

I’d like to think I left it all behind me

And know for sure the past will never find me

There are some who sanctify revenge

Time and life will leave them on the fringe

And some until the end will carry grudges

Time and life and death will be their judges
