Rainbow Blues (2002 Digital Remaster) - Jethro Tull

Through northern lights on back streets

I told the coachman just drive me on

It's the same old destination

But a different world

To sing upon

So he threw back his head and he counted

I jumped out about five to nine

And I waved at the stage door keeper

Said mister get me to the stage on time

Oh but the rain wasn't made of water

And

The snow didn't have a place in the sun

So I slipped behind a rainbow

Waited till the show had done

Hate

I packed my ammunition

Inside the crowd was shouting encore

But I had a most funny feeling

It wasn't me they shouting for

So when the tall dark lady smiled at me

I said oh baby let us go for a ride

We came upon two drinks or four

And popped them oh so neatly inside

Oh an the rain wasn't made of water

And the snow didn't have a place in the sun

So we slipped behind a rainbow

Lay there until we had done

Yeah

Ohhh

Let me pack you deep in my suitcase

Oh there's sure to be room for two

Or you can drive me to the airplane

But don't let me catch those rainbow blues

Oh an the rain wasn't made of water

And

The snow didn't have a place in the sun

So I slipped behind a rainbow

Lay there until we had done

Oh an the rain wasn't made of water

And

And

The snow didn't have a place in the sun

So I slipped behind a rainbow

Lay there until we had done

Ohhhhhhhoooo
