Robbie Robertson - Sign Of The Rainbow Lyrics






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
And should you 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 a 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

    God bless you Robbie Roberson for bringing the soul music that feeds our hearts and soul... you are the magician that can makes water into wine

  4. c.... g....

    Have some minor reservations with RR's solo career (too much U2 influence early on) but this is good as anything he ever did with the Band. And they are my favourite band period!

  5. D.... M....

  9. M.... ....

    Masterpiece album, beautiful end song and listening experience, like a beutiful journey.

  10. b.... ....

    Why this entire album didn't make it is beyond me. There is nothing but pure bewitching music I never even knew Robbie was capable of! One of the greatest albums I've heard. Robbie at his finest--even better than his work with The Band. I know that's crazy, but I just love this entire CD.

    b.... ....

    I agree with everything you say.

  11. T.... C....

    One of the coolest he has done and Aaron Neville singing back up just fits perfectly.

  12. r.... ....

    a beautiful song. Thank you .
