even rainbows get the blues

from your own true man by Dan Johnson

/

lyrics

blue cotton shirt
red wool hat
yellow lighter
next to a burning cigarette

last nights makeup
yesterdays news
hair of the dog
even rainbows get the blues

mommas jewels
daddys coat
you never even read
that poem that he wrote

painted floors
exposed beams
howd you get so careless
about other peoples dreams

needlepoint eyes
in an ocean of tears
let em fall
like those forgotten years

a book of poems
with uncut pages
the tea's gone cold
it seems like ages

that little room
where we sat and cried
looking out the window
at the rainbow outside

waiting for each other
to make a move
honey even rainbows
sometimes get the blues
