Rainbow Woman

Rainbow Woman - Lee Hazlewood

I saw her reflection

In the shadow of the sun

Listening to the cadence

Of a dying drummer's drum

She knew I was coming nearer

She said no but I did not hear her

Rainbow woman rainbow

Rainbow woman woman

Rainbow woman

When I heard her laughter

I was more than some surprised

In her smile was sadness

There was laughter in her eyes

She knew I was coming nearer

She said no but I did not hear her

Rainbow woman rainbow

Rainbow woman woman

Rainbow woman

Self respect is absent

In a lonely man's mirage

Love is sometimes given

In a salty tear corsage

May the Gods that made her claim her

She comes and goes

And so I named her

Rainbow woman rainbow

Rainbow woman woman

Rainbow woman

May the Gods that made her claim her

She comes and goes

And so I named her

Rainbow woman rainbow

Rainbow woman woman

Rainbow woman
