Through northern lights on back streets I told the coachman just drive me home
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 sat behind the rainbow And waited till the show was done
Yes I packed my ammunition Inside the crowd was shouting encore
But I had a most funny feeling It wasn't me they were shouting for
So when the tall dark lady smiled at me I said oh baby let us go for a ride
And we came upon two drinks or four And popped them oh so neatly inside
Oh and the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
So I sat behind the rainbow And waited till the show was done
Yeah so
Instrumental
Let me pack you deep in my suitcase For there's sure to be room for two
Oh you can drive me to the airplane But don't let me catch those rainbow blues
Oh and the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
So we slipped behind a rainbow And waited till we're done
Oh and the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
So we slipped behind a rainbow And waited till we're done
Oh
Instrumental
