Rainbow Man

I was the firstborn son of a lonely soul at best
Was dreamin' I sank slow in the west
And like the drifted soul my daddy was, my shoes are wearing thin
Lord, the seeds, they're tangled in the wind

And like a breeze on a summer's day, I'll pass your way
I'll paint your pictures in the sky
But a rainbow man is all I am
And I'll fade away in the sunshine

Now don't try to tie me down if I'm around a while
May be hard to understand
"It's just my way", you say, "If I'm a fool, go, child"
I'm growing free now, yes, I'm going wild

And like a breeze on a summer's day, I'll pass your way
I'll paint your pictures in the sky
But a rainbow man is all I am
And I'll fade away in the sunshine
Oh yeah

And like a breeze on a summer's day, I'll pass your way
I'll paint your pictures in the sky
Just a rainbow man is all I am
And I'll fade away

And I won't be here tomorrow (I won't be here)
I won't be here tomorrow (I won't be)
Won't be here tomorrow or today

I'm a rainbow man
Yes, I am
I'm a rainbow man
Just a rainbow man
