RAINBOW VILLA

Rainbow Villa, I shall awake
If you are the fire; I am Joan at the stake
I wish that I could strike you from the past
Technicolor nightmare to the last

Rainbow Villa, so inhumane
Poised like a tiger, you play a waiting game
I used to sit and watch your seagulls play
Before the morning shadows burnt away

We made our plans together darling; where are you now?

Rainbow Villa, strange to me now
Your gardens and your buildings seem different somehow
The flowers have all faded with the Fall
I don't believe I noticed them at all

We made our plans together darling, where are you now?
You were to be my bride my darling, oh, look at me now

I knelt down and promised you the colors of the rainbow
You glowed like an angel in your emerald gown
Standing on this very ground and promising
You'd still be here after the storm
We'd both be warm

Rainbow Villa, it's time to go home
I hear you calling me; it's time to be alone
I'd sooner die than hear you in my mind
Promising something I'll never find
