Answer To Rainbow At Midnight
[Verse 1]
I saw a rainbow at midnight
Way out on the ocean so blue
And there was your face in this rainbow
Guiding me back home to you

[Verse 2]
All through the war I was praying
For the day that you'd be by my side
But now all my dreams have been shattered
It seems that my rainbow has lied

[Verse 3]
For when I knocked on your door dear
They said with a new love you'd gone
And that you two were so happy
And for me to just leave you alone

[Verse 4]
Oh how my poor heart did break dear
For I suffered so much for so long
And you knew just how much I loved you
Oh how could you treat me so wrong

[Verse 5]
Now as I gaze at your heaven
It seems I just can't bear the pain
Yet somehow each night I keep searching
For a rainbow I'll never see again
