Rainbow of Love

Post by Abracadabra »

Here's another song I wrote.

Rainbow of Love
© James Burnon Ross

Please won't you water me
with the raindrops of your love
Send me a potpourri
with the tenderness there-of

My spirit's dry
I don't wanna die
Please send me something even
if it's just the moisture of your sigh

My spirit's dying from a desiccated heart
My soul is crumbling and falling all apart
I need a sip of love if it's only al la carte
Please won't you send me a rainbow of love

Oh, let your love flow
like a river flowing to the sea
Oh, let your light glow
like sunlight dancing on a tree

Oh I've been thirsty for the sweetness of your kiss
My lips are withered from the kissing that I miss
I long to love you with emancipated bliss
Please won't you send me a rainbow of love

Oh, let your love flow
like the golden honey of the bees
Oh, sing a love song
with a melody that's aimed to please

My breath is parched and dry like a cloudless desert sky
My eyes are empty, I've no tears, and cannot cry
My heart belongs to you. That I can't deny.
Please won't you send me a rainbow of love

Oh, let your love flow
like an eagle gliding on a breeze
Oh, set your spirit free
and let your love flow eternally

My life's been empty for a long and lonely time
I've lived through barrenness where I almost resigned
My constant love for you has been my only crime
Please won't you send me a rainbow of love

Oh, send your to me
I'll return it to you multiplied by infinity
Oh, won't you be with me
together we can make a life of
happiness and loving harmony

Hiya, Ab! Were you gone for a while, or was that just me? My computer died....took a hiatus, rather....after I tried to listen to that Halloween song you recorded. Had nothing to do with the link; my computer's just a piece of crap.
I'm hearing Nancy Sinatra in my head, while reading the lyrics...like a Phaedra (Some Sunday Morning) thing. Is that really weird, or kinda where you were going with it? It's so hard to tell without the music. For me, anyway.
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

I provided a link to the music, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Let me try again:

Rainbow of Love

There that might work.

I'm scared to click on that, since I'm in my home office. I'll check it out next time I'm stuck in corporate limbo.

Afraid it did nothing for me .... guess just not my kinda music
We fade away, but vivid in our eyes
A world is born again that never dies.
