Lookin’ for My Rainbow

Shades of white and blue and yellow
Hues of red which could make a man mellow
When up is down and down is too low
And high is not; now, where can I go?

Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow

We all come from time and space
In vain we search from place to place
Feelin' pain and knowin' sorrow
And never thinkin' about tomorrow

Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow

There’s a way that some men give
Give what they can give when they give
Ain't no time for feelin' down
Lord have mercy on all around

Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow

Sometimes I hear the old whistle blow
See the rusted cans on the boxcar floor
Shades of white and blue and yellow
Pass by me through the open door

Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow

Crystal lady, my one friend
And the red on white tells her where I've been
And if this life should end for me
I know my life has no guarantee

"Cause I'm lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow

Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow

Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
