Here's a rainbow I have found
Now I wrap my arms around it
On a bus to leave this town
I have tried so long to make it
Here's a girl I call her bliss
She is my idea of heaven
For a kiss I give my dreams
I couldn't stand the thought of failure
She has chased and fought
Been pushed and shoved
She has gone too long without anybody's love
Don't call her back, that road isn't mine
Don't tell me she's gone and that love isn't blind
And heaven only knows why roses are never blue
And that love is to war
What I am to you
Here's a rose she painted blue
Though the colour has since faded
Just something she had to prove
That nothing lasts forever
She has lied and fought, rose darling hurt her
Now she's gone too long without anybody's love
Don't call her back, that road isn't mine
Don't tell me she's gone and that love isn't blind
And heaven only knows why roses are never blue
And that love is to war
What I am to you
