Strawbs - Following The Rainbow lyrics

Cousins Red tears of deepest sorrow Will flow until tomorrow The sun sets in the West And nights grow cold I'm following the rainbow 'Till I find a pot of gold The orange blossom falling And the sound of people calling Will last a million years So I have been told Yellow flowers in the morning Will blossom in a warning The river bursts its banks Unless controlled Green trees upon the mountain And a ripple of a fountain A silver kiss at night And love was sold The blue moon sends a shiver Of light across the River There's nothing left but space For men to hold An indigo confusion Is the sign of man's delusion The searing heat Turns matter into mould The violet robes of morning Will surely bring a warning To everyone around Who's growing old
