The End of The Rainbow

[verse 1] I walked a line of golden thread Through valleys cold and cities red Each face a mask, each heart unsaid I begged for joy, but grief came instead [pre-chorus] And I sang to the sky, but the stars wouldn’t speak The silence grew loud, the days became weak [chorus] Is this the end of the rainbow? Another dream that dies in snow I followed light into the grey Now all my colours fade away Ooh oh, oh oh Where do the wild ones go When even hope says no? [verse 2] I kissed the breeze on mountain spines Chased shadows through cathedral pines The more I reached, the more confined A thousand smiles, but none were mine [pre-chorus] The laughter felt borrowed, the warmth a disguise I stared at the mirror, but found no eyes [chorus] Is this the end of the rainbow? A place I thought I’d always know I danced with ghosts in borrowed shoes To find the music lost its truth Ah ah ah oh Tell me, what’s left to show When every road leads low? [bridge] And I, I screamed in colour, turned to grey Fell through the cracks of yesterday Each step I took was paved with gold But inside, I was growing cold [instrumental interlude] [final chorus] Is this the end of the rainbow? Where all the rivers cease to flow I thought I'd find my heaven here But now it whispers in my ear Ooh oh, oh oh You were never meant to know What happiness could grow In hollow soil below [outro] So I walk, and walk, and walk again 'Til walking is the only friend
