It don’t rain much out in this desert town Sky stays quiet and the sun stays loud But the night you slipped away from me A storm rolled in off the distant peaks Thunder echoed through the valley floor Like heaven knockin’ on my door And I swear I felt you let me go In the cold wind blowin’ off the Sierras’ snow When the rain stops fallin’ slow I see your rainbow over Reno Every color paints your name Soft as a whisper through the pain And though you’re gone where I can’t go You send your love down with the glow When the clouds all break just so I see your rainbow… over Reno I still drive the roads we used to roam Virginia Street lights guide me home Pass the diner booth where you’d sneak a kiss Every memory cuts deep but I can’t resist Some nights I swear you walk beside me still Quiet footprints on a heart you filled I look up high when the wind turns sweet And pray that storm brings you back to me When the rain stops fallin’ slow I see your rainbow over Reno Every color paints your name Soft as a whisper through the pain And though you’re gone where I can’t go You send your love down with the glow When the clouds all break just so I see your rainbow… over Reno Maybe heaven needed you more than me Maybe love lives on where eyes can’t see But I hold on to that sky of gold ’Cause that’s where your promises unfold When the rain stops fallin’ slow I see your rainbow over Reno You’re the light beyond the gray Guidin’ me through every day And though you’re gone where I can’t go You send your love down with the glow So when the desert sun dips low I see your rainbow… over Reno
