Don Williams - Only Water (Shining In The Air) lyrics

Not that long ago I was on the run People telling me I should be someone And the things I'd learned were forgotten in my haste Till I reached the end of the rainbow I had chased. It was only water shining in thin air I put out my hand and there was nothing there After all the promise, after all the prayer It was only water shining in the air. Now I've got a wife and she sees my through And I've got a friend I can talk straight to And I've got some dreams just a bit more down to earth And I don't forget what a rainbow's really worth. 'Cause it's only water shining in thin air I put out my hand and there was nothing there After all the promise, after all the prayer It was only water shining in the air. If you want fame and fortune, then you just be my guest If you want to pay those dues, I wish you all the best. But it's only water shining in the air I put out my hand and there was nothing there After all the promise, after all the care It was only water shining in the air. It was only water shining in the air...
