Nigel Stonier - A Rainbow Is Enough

Here they come with charts and grids
Costume jewellery for the kids
Saying “come on, baby, time to raise your game”
Here’s the road and here’s the ditch
And here’s the sign says which is which
There’s the look that says you failed again
Tell them once; tell them twice, you don’t need that stuff
You don’t need a pot of gold, a rainbow is enough
And there’ll be no shortcuts home
But these steps are all your own
You’re travelling light, but you’re not alone

Load some wine, you roadside eyes
We don’t buy that glittering prize
Or that place they say we’re travelling to
The moon is out, the night is full
Of clumsy little miracles
And all the magic lives right there in you
So, tell them once; tell them twice, you don’t want that stuff
You don’t need a pot of gold, a rainbow is enough
And there’ll be no shortcuts home
But these steps are all your own
You’re travelling light, but you’re not alone

Where the lights synchronise and the clouds start to descend
When they aim at your heart and you start to break and bend
If there’s a light that will shine for you, right through without end
Always
Always

Tell them once; tell them twice, you don’t want that stuff
You don’t need a pot of gold, a rainbow is enough
And there’ll be no shortcuts home
But these steps are all your own
You’re travelling light, but you’re not alone
You’re travelling light, but you’re not alone
