Pretty Blue

Over the rainbow

The sky is pretty blue

But it's not a sort of place

 You'd be moving to

For a moment there you would fly away

From you sorrows, would you?

Although it's quite a sight

Air is light

And you'd fall right through

An intense rush going through your blood

 Through your veins and through your streams

Like a rainy season near the river

Flooding all your shattered dreams

Water going

 And overflowing

It's Venice, or at least it seems

But when the flood is gone

 Ruins are shown

 Emptiness appears

And you, my love

 When you are gone

 The rainbow disappears

It stays up high

But I fall down

Landing on flood-ruined streets

Stay for a while

 I'll be flying high

Don't ask why

Make me feel alive

Gardens filled with flowers

On this road to Mandalay

Smiling faces going places

 But for you are here to stay

I feel a summer breeze gently on my skin

when I hear you say

I am always yours, and all because

you came into my life

And you, my love

 When you are gone

 The rainbow disappears
