Beaches Polluted with Rainbows

[mambadumal]

VERSE 1
Breaking up is brutal
But your voice is soft and sweet
You're dancing through my consciousness
We're dancing in the street.

VERSE 2
An evening by the river
When we watched the sun explode
Somehow all my memories
Are tinted yellow-gold.

VERSE 4
Like rainbows in an oil spill
Or silver hubcaps catching light
Up to our knees in rusted promises
And to make it all all right,

VERSE 5
We're clearing out our memories
From lies and lust and greed
So we're blindly catching ashes
As they crumble at our feet.

CHORUS
Dredging up dreams
From slow-flowing streams
That squirm through the sand
You and I are are touching hands
On beaches polluted with rainbows.
You and I are are touching hands
On beaches polluted with rainbows.

VERSE 6
Only now I'm not so certain
As we sort through all the pain
Is it really worth the effort
If we can never stop the rain?

VERSE 7
And I just can't help but wonder
If we can ever do enough
Is it really worth the effort
To renew polluted love?

VERSE 8
I could lose you now forever
Bring this daydream to an end
But if I lose you will we ever
Dare to dream again?

If I lose you, will we ever
Dare to dream again?

CHORUS
Dredging up dreams
From slow-flowing streams
That squirm through the sand
You and I are are touching hands
On beaches polluted with rainbows.
You and I are are touching hands
On beaches polluted with rainbows.
