Jay Ducharme - Rainbow at My Feet Lyrics

I followed the sun
Into the rain
I heard a fable
Of wealth I might gain
Chasing a rainbow
Until I found
The riches I dreamed of lying on the ground

Now a rainbow is at my feet
But no gold waits for me
Just soft grass and fallen leaves
And a rainbow at my feet

I look around
In disbelief
Overturning
Every leaf
Moving rocks
Where gold should be
Staring down
But all I can see

Is a rainbow is at my feet
But no gold waits for me
Just soft grass and fallen leaves
And a rainbow at my feet

I dig at the sand
With my trembling hands
Hours of toil
Removing the soil
Frustration feeds
My impatient greed
Till I look in the hole
Where I buried my soul

I suddenly notice a change in the sky
The sun returns, the clouds roll by
The forest springs to life once more
With treasures I ignored before

Now a rainbow is at my feet
And gold no longer matters to me
Just soft grass and forest leaves
And a rainbow at my feet
