The rainbow life from show to show
The smiling faces come and go
There's years of roads and highway signs
And the hours go on for miles and miles

And now, wrong end of the rainbow
Sad shade of a smile
Everything I once did own
Now it's gone

The motel cell still looks the same
I can't remember where I am
The late-late priest has said good night
The phone just rings across the miles and miles

And now, wrong end of the rainbow
Sad shade of a smile
Everything I once did own
Now it's gone
And I lost my love
And she left me

Wrong end of the rainbow
Sad shade of a smile
Everything I once did own
Now it's gone
