Build You a Rainbow - Leo Sayer

Dark city, rain all day

Wishing you were here to blow the clouds away

But it’s sprinkling raindrops onto my head instead

Now I’m driving, tapping the wheel

Wondering all the time if you remember me

If you’ll be waiting

If you’ll be there

Where you said

The joint strands of a love affair

Are held together by a breath of air

I see you and you see me

But never ever how it’s meant to be

A fickle fate motivates the soul

The things we do are out of our control

I’ll get you back here in this world with me

To share the dream, to share the dream

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

I’ve been away, such a long time

(Such a long time)

Pushing a rock up a mountainside

To build you a rainbow

Build you a rainbow

I’ve been away, oh such a long time

(Such a long time)

Pushing a rock up a mountainside

To build you a rainbow

Build you a rainbow

Now I’m here, outside your door

Thinking I’ve forgotten what I came here for

Was it a trick of the wind, did I hear you call?

Oh yeah

Now this rain has ceased to fall

And I hear your footsteps coming down the hall

Into the warmth of your arms I fall, I fall

The shattered pieces of a love affair

Fall into place and like a millionaire

You put me back in the place where

I know I should be, oh yeah

The sky cracks and the sun appears

A change of weather burns away our fear

A rainbow comes along to light the way

And it’s like we’re on a holiday

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

Is this the dream?

I’ve been away, such a long time

(Such a long time)

Pushing a rock up a mountainside

To build you a rainbow

Build you a rainbow

I’ve been away, such a long time

(Such a long time)

Pushing a rock up a mountainside

To build you a rainbow

Build you a rainbow

I’ve been away, such a long time

(Such a long time)

Pushing that rock up a mountainside

To build you a rainbow

Build you a rainbow

I’ve been away

(Such a long time)

Pushing that rock up a mountainside

To build you a rainbow

Build you a rainbow
