Rainbow Blues Blackmore's Night

The rain wasn't made of water
The snow didn't have a place in the sun
So we slipped behind the rainbow
And laid back till we had done

And then the rain wasn't made of water
And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
So we slipped behind the rainbow
And laid back till we had done

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 got out about five to nine
And I waved at the stage door-keeper
Said: "Mister, get me to the stage on time"

And then 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 laid back till we had done

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
