The rain wasn't made of water   The snow didn't have a place in the sun   So we slipped behind the rainbow   And laid back till we had done      And then the rain wasn't made of water   And the snow didn't have a place in the sun   So we slipped behind the rainbow   And laid back till we had done      Through northern lights on back streets   I told the coachman "just drive me on   It's the same old destination   But a different world to sing upon"   So he threw back his head and he counted   I got out about five to nine   And I waved at the stage door-keeper   Said "mister, get me to the stage on time"      And then the rain wasn't made of water   And the snow didn't have a place in the sun   So we slipped behind the rainbow   And laid back till we had done      I packed my ammunition   Inside the crowd was shouting "encore"   But I had a most funny feeling   It wasn't me they were shouting for   So when the tall dark lady smiled at me   I said "oh baby let us go for a ride"   And we came upon two drinks or four   And popped them oh so neatly inside      And then the rain wasn't made of water   And the snow didn't have a place in the sun   So we slipped behind the rainbow   And laid back till we had done      Let me pack you deep in my suitcase   Oh there's sure to be room for two   Or you can drive me to the airplane   But don't let me catch those rainbow blues      And then the rain wasn't made of water   And the snow didn't have a place in the sun   So we slipped behind the rainbow   And laid back till we had done      So then the rain wasn't made of water   And the snow didn't have a place in the sun   So we slipped behind the rainbow   And laid back till we had done      The rain wasn't made of water   The snow didn't have a place in the sun   The rain wasn't made of water   The snow didn't have a place in the sun
