Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Rainbow Ride lyrics

It had been midnight on the street Someone had helped me to my feet And said there's a taxi out there Waiting to take you to your door Driver said, your destination? I said, take me to the fair Time's a-wasting and I have to go And close the evening there. The golden coach is on the track And ready set to fly The rainbow ride will make its arc And send me to the sky, to the sky The tunnel of love is cold and lonely In the hours before the dawn But the ups and downs of the give And take are not what I'm looking for The Rainbow ride will take me To where the Northern lights are born All my days of trouble will be Ice till the end of time. The golden coach is on the track And ready set to fly The Rainbow ride will make its arc And send me to the sky, to the sky Rainbow take me, Rainbow send me And place me where the sun becomes a star Where I become a star Come flotsam, come jetsam Get on the Rainbow ride Come flotsam, come jetsam The riff-raff, the raggle taggle Come flotsam, come jetsam The riff raff, the raggle taggle Come flotsam, come jetsam The riff raff, the raggle-taggle And get on board that Rainbow ride
