Rainbows In The Snow

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Robert Hunter

On 8 May 2002, Robert Hunter said "How would you feel about hearing a lot of songs I've never played for anybody before?". The second one he played was this one - it may be the only time he played it: it isn't in any other known setlists.

What for [?] we said
Ring like visions now are dead
To all concerns except our own
Dedicated to ourselves alone
[?] time correct
Showing all the symptoms of neglect
Regret for what just had to be
You being you, me being me

Rainbows in the snow
Rainbows in the snow
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Rainbows in the snow
Rainbows in the snow
Your memory follows me
Everywhere I go

Time itself turned inside out
Stitches in the fabric of our doubt
Souvenirs of time that's yet to come
Every did and every [caught out] out strong
If I could, I would be yours tonight
Offered eternity don't make it right
In these words my ? that I lay
Like one cut rose upon a breakfast tray

Rainbows in the snow
Rainbows in the snow
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Rainbows in the snow
Rainbows in the snow
Your memory follows me
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go

Dialogue with angels over here
I can't, I can't understand a single word
The meaning got all tangled in the [drum]
You won't even hear it when it comes
As though I need reminding of
How time destroys the things I love
Replaces them with solid reasons why
Like [?] cinders blowing in my eye

Rainbows in the snow
Rainbows in the snow
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Rainbows in the snow
Rainbows in the snow
Your memory follows me
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go

Everywhere I go

"Bet you can't imagine who I had in mind for that song. I never got to him. Brian Wilson. I think he could do that real pretty. Ah well. Did you see Brian when he came through here? Or did he come through here?"
