Rainbow River

Album: Just Another Diamond Day (1970)

  • The rainbow river is a laughing stream
    Down in a valley by a mountain that is pine tree tall
    The rainbow river has a small boy fishing with a worm
    And a jam jar by the waterfall
    Don't make a sound don't disturb the ground
    The biggest fish you ever saw is around
    And the rainbow river gives a rainbow fish
    As one small boy goes running proudly to his mother's call

    The stone built farmhouse is a rough stone cottage
    Hiding close against the hillside up a winding track
    The stone built farmhouse has a fair-haired farmer
    Wearing wooden shoes and building up a new haystack
    Run in the door stand on the stone floor
    The oven opens, there's the biggest loaf you ever saw
    And the stone built farmhouse gives a good warm welcome
    As he sits down in his own chair with a Windsor back

    The magpie meadow is a glowing evening color
    Sun is setting quietly and the boy is tired
    The magpie meadow has a sparrow hawk who hovers
    Hanging on the wind preying eagle eyed
    Sit by the lantern watch as the years turn
    Slowly bringing truth for every child to learn
    And the magpie meadow darkens gently blue now
    As the family sit their faces lit by ember fire Publisher: BMG Rights Management
