"Rainbow's End" lyrics

Rainbow’s End

Wish I could follow the sun…from east to west…

Shadows behind me…….bright light up ahead…..…

Tomorrow’s sun….in my eyes……like an eagle I would fly…

I’d burn every bridge…just to say hello again…

but I open my eyes and it’s a dream and I can’t fly

and I’m back here ..in my life again..…

 

Oh I know all my friends tell me this is rainbow’s end

They say that I’m crazy to complain….

But something’s wrong here you see… this is someone else’s dream

….‘cause all I feel are chains. 

 

I wake at night ….I hear the silence roar…

With the sound of breaking dreams….…the sound of closing doors…

Half my life……just to build these walls…..

Now half of me……wants to see them fall…..

Sometimes …love……it’s not enough…sometimes…… life gets in the way

You can hate me…for things I’ve done, but don’t hate me….for things I cannot say

 

 ‘Cause I know this my friend …..there is no rainbow’s end

…and there’s no stopping this rain…

and what’s wrong here…is me…this is someone else’s dream

….cause all I feel…..are chains.

About my song

This song is played and sung by Dennis Yardley, of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.  He saw an open mic video of me, singing this song, and asked if he could cover it.  I was thrilled, because he is such a wonderful musician.  I am posting this version, instead of my own,  because he does the song so much justice.  This is how I heard the song in my head, but he is a much better guitar player than I am.  And I am very appreciative of his wonderful vocals!  Here’s the open mic video (very imperfect:)

This song is very, very close to my heart.  Thanks for listening.
