There's an empty pillow in the bed beside me
Where not so long ago you lay your head
It used to echo to the sound of happy laughter
But the voice it used to echo now is dead

And if you ever tired of chasing after rainbows
And if you find the need of company is strong
Won't you lift your eyes and look into the sunset
Turn around pack your bags and come on home

As I thumb through withered pages of your diary
And the entry that concerns our wedding day
I can't help but wonder if you really meant it
When you said the words I do that happy day

And if you ever tired of chasing after rainbows...

I often wake to find the darkness that surrounds me
Is not as friendly as the way it used to be
And I wonder if tonight where you are staying
Will you lay awake in bed and think of me

And if you ever tired of chasing after rainbows...
Won't you lift your eyes and look into the sunset
Turn around pack your bags and come on home
