Following The Rainbow

Strawbs - Following The Rainbow



Red tears of deepest sorrow

Will flow until tomorrow

The sun sets in the West

And nights grow cold



I'm following the rainbow

'Till I find a pot of gold



The orange blossom falling

And the sound of people calling

Will last a million years

So I have been told



Yellow flowers in the morning

Will blossom in a warning

The river bursts its banks

Unless controlled



Green trees upon the mountain

And a ripple of a fountain

A silver kiss at night

And love was sold



The blue moon sends a shiver

Of light across the River

There's nothing left but space

For men to hold



An indigo confusion

Is the sign of man's delusion

The searing heat

Turns matter into mould



The violet robes of morning

Will surely bring a warning

To everyone around

Who's growing old
