Rainbow In The Dark
Dio · At Donington Uk: Live 1983 & 1987 [2010]
When there's lightning
You know it always brings me down
'Cause it's free and I see
that its me who's lost and never found
A cry out for magic
I feel it dancing in the light
It was cold, lost my hold
To the shadows of the night
No sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark,
A rainbow in the dark
Do your demons-do they ever let you go?
When you try
Do they hide deep inside
Is it someone that you know?
You're just a picture
You're an image caught in time
We're a lie-You and I,
We're words without a rhyme
There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on you're own
Like a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark, yeah, ya
When I see lightning
You now it always brings me down
'Cause it's free and i see
That it's me who's lost and never found
Feel the magic-I feel it floating in the air
But it's fear
And you hear it calling you beware
Look out!
There's no sign of the morning coming
No sight of the day
You've been left on you're own
Like a rainbow, like a rainbow in the dark yeah ya
You're a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark
No sign of the morning
You're a rainbow...in the dark Whoa ooo whoa
You know it always brings me down
'Cause it's free and I see
that its me who's lost and never found
A cry out for magic
I feel it dancing in the light
It was cold, lost my hold
To the shadows of the night
No sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark,
A rainbow in the dark
Do your demons-do they ever let you go?
When you try
Do they hide deep inside
Is it someone that you know?
You're just a picture
You're an image caught in time
We're a lie-You and I,
We're words without a rhyme
There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on you're own
Like a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark, yeah, ya
When I see lightning
You now it always brings me down
'Cause it's free and i see
That it's me who's lost and never found
Feel the magic-I feel it floating in the air
But it's fear
And you hear it calling you beware
Look out!
There's no sign of the morning coming
No sight of the day
You've been left on you're own
Like a rainbow, like a rainbow in the dark yeah ya
You're a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark
No sign of the morning
You're a rainbow...in the dark Whoa ooo whoa
