Lyrics
Used Rainbows
(c) 2009 By Stephen Lee Rich
Not quite enough. How long did we try?
How much did we thirst when the well ran dry?
We did what we could, but the chance has passed by.
All we have left are used rainbows.
It started out right with a sigh and a spark.
Were we awake when the world went dark?
Somehow we came up just short of the mark,
Stranded amongst the used rainbows.
Bridge:
It started with small things that we couldn't see;
Nothing we'd notice at all.
We started out running, but they held us down.
Now it's an effort to crawl.
Now that it's over, there's little to do.
We've no resources to see us through.
Nothing is left of the souls that we knew.
They're buried beneath the used rainbows.
