Lee Hazlewood - Rainbow Woman

I saw her reflection in the shadow of the sun
Listening to the cadence of a dying drummer's drum

She knew I was coming nearer
She said no but I did not hear her
Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman
Rainbow woman

When I heard her laughter I was more than some surprised
In her smile was sadness, there was laughter in her eyes

She knew I was coming nearer
She said no but I did not hear her
Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman
Rainbow woman

Self-respect is absent in a lonely man's mirage
Love is sometimes given in a salty tear corsage

May the Gods that made her claim her
She comes and goes and so I named her
Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman
Rainbow woman

May the Gods that made her claim her
She comes and goes and so I named her
Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman
Rainbow woman
