a rainbow

Feels like I might see a rainbow today
Where do they go when they fade away?
Like a feeling in a song, pray it stay a little longer -
Like nature's daughter stopped by to play

I'd like to rock with the waves
I'd like the option to wait
I chalk it up to the haze
But it stays most days
Even days where it's clear -
What's fate?

Fear's the only one I really get
I'm up late, staring in the mirror
Do you feel it yet? Yeah.
If what you mean by "it" is regret
I'm trying to finish a sentence
I'm trying to finish a breath
But I ain't finished yet

Far from it
No I ain't finished yet
Talking 'bout
Which way to the summit?

Nothing but gray skies, it rained all day
I was running on something like five hours
Stopped to stare at the sight of the sun
I was wondering when it would turn sour

Pat down my hair, set the lights, let the pen bleed
Floating down the stairs in the night to the next scene
It looks like a repeat, I'm only guessing
It looks like a repeat, you're a blessing

But she's not here so I toast with an empty
Cheers to the three seers and a year of plenty
It's not clear when I started venting
And I've got no idea where the taxi left me

But it feels like I might see a rainbow today
Where do they go when they fade away?
Like a feeling in a song, pray it stay a little longer -
Like nature's daughter stopped by to play
