Rainbow Blues - Jethro Tull

Through northern lights on back streets

I told the coachman 'just drive me on

Its 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

And waited till the show had done

I packed my ammunition

Inside the crowd was shouting 'encore

But I had a most funny feeling

It wasnt 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 but 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 lay there until we had done

Let me pack you deep in my suitcase

Oh theres sure to be room for two

Or you can drive me to the airplane

But don't let me

catch those rainbow blues

Oh but 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 lay there until we had done

Oh but 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 lay there until we had done
