(lyrics by Geoffrey Rose, music by Harlan Collins)

There's a story in the fire

There's a frost out on the field

There's a wind that sings a lonely song

To a broken heart that beats along

There's a letter on the table

Writing off the tender years

But you'll never see the rainbow

Till you go and cry the tears

There's a picture on the mantle

Of a love that didn't last

There's a bedrom full of emptiness

Except the echos of the tenderness

There's an army deep inside you

Doing battle with your fears

But you'll never see the rainbow

Till you go and cry the tears

There's a time to reap the harvest

That's the wisdom of the land

There's a reason for the rainy days

And brilliant autumn's sunny haze

There's a season for forgiveness

And you know that time is here

'Cause you'll never see the rainbow

Till you go and cry the tears

No, you'll never see the rainbow

Till you go and cry the tears
