When The Rainbow Comes Lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Come on, pack your bags, clear the floor 

Let's step out through the open door 

Leave a note that says goodbye 

And build a new house down by the sea 

Get to the place we were meant to be 

And you'll know it when you smile 

Up at the window search in the sky 

Looking for the rainbow and don't ask why 

I wanna see the rainbow come 

Hey, we'll be leaving on all sides 

Oh, when the rainbow comes 

When the rainbow comes 

Mr. postman look and see 

If there's a message in your bag for me 

Could be a bomb or it could be a letter 

It don't matter it can only get better 

Hey, Mr. postman look and see 

If there's a message in your bag for me 

You know it's been such a long long time 

Since I could laugh at this world of mine, yeah 

Slipping and sliding around in your head 

Be bop a lula then baby, you're dead 

So come on make a bright new day 

I need a prayer here, need a blessing 

Cast an eye back as you run 

Turn around boy, see the rainbow come 

Hey, we'll be leaving on all sides 

When the rainbow comes 

When the rainbow comes 

Oh, see the world from all sides 

When the rainbow comes 

When the rainbow comes 

When the rainbow comes 

When the rainbow comes
