Only Water (Shining In the Air) (Shining in the Air)

Only Water (Shining in the Air) - Don Williams

Not that long ago I was on the run

People telling me I should be someone

And the things I'd learned were forgotten in my haste

Till I reached the end of the rainbow I had chased

It was only water shining in thin air

I put out my hand and there was nothing there

After all the promise after all the prayer

It was only water shining in the air

Now I've got a wife and she sees my through

And I've got a friend I can talk straight to

And I've got some dreams just a bit more down to earth

And I don't forget what a rainbow's really worth

'Cause it's only water shining in thin air

I put out my hand and there was nothing there

After all the promise after all the prayer

It was only water shining in the air

If you want fame and fortune then you just be my guest

If you want to pay those dues I wish you all the best

But it's only water shining in the air

I put out my hand and there was nothing there

After all the promise after all the care

It was only water shining in the air

It was only water shining in the air
