she held pink orchids , within her lovely hands
an ivory gown , flowing down by her side
a sacred kiss upon her rose colored lips
her hair was october brown
these are pictures i can't forget
now that she's not around
today i'm dressed in black
might as well be wearin' blue
my baby's done up in red
she'd rather be with him instead
and i feel blinded by the sun that shines
ohhh in ebony
and i'm reminded of a meadow nearby
when everything was green
THINK I'LL BUY MYSELF A RAINBOW
THAT I CAN CALL MY VERY OWN
WITH DIFFERENT SHADES OF HAPPINESS
AND COLORS FILLED WITH HOPE
YEAH I'LL BUY MYSELF A RAINBOW
now i could spend the rest of my life
seein' everything in black and white
or i could paint this town
and turn my grey days into paradise
repeat chorus
