[Verse 1]
Shades of white and blue and yellow
Hues of red which could make a man mellow
When up is down and down’s too low
And high is not - now where can I go

[Chorus]
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Just a-lookin' for my rainbow

[Verse 2]
We all come from time and space
In vain we search from place to place
Feelin' pain and knowin' sorrow
And never thinkin' about tomorrow

[Chorus]
Just lookin' for your rainbow
Lookin' for your rainbow
Lookin' for your rainbow

[Verse 3]
There’s a way that some men give
Givin' what they can give when they give
Ain't no time for feelin' down
Lord have mercy on all around
[Chorus]
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow

[Verse 4]
You know sometimes I hear the whistle blowing
See the rusted cans on the boxcar floor
Shades of white and blue and yellow
Pass by me through the open door

[Chorus]
Just lookin' for your rainbow
Lookin' for your rainbow
Lookin' for your rainbow

[Verse 5]
Crystal lady my one friend
Red on white tells her where I've been
When this life for me is through
I know a-woman I’ll have you

[Chorus x2]
Just lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
[Outro]
Lookin' for my rainbow
Lookin' for my rainbow
