If I get through this weary day
I'll make it through this week
If I find one good word to say
Then I can surely speak
My heart's been a thicket dark
And trouble's on my mind
But let me take you on a lark
The pleasure will be mine

chorus
  There's a rainbow sign
  It's been here all the time
  It tells me what to do
  To give this gift to you

I rambled o'er a mountainside
Toward some wishing pool
I found naught but a desert dry
And proved to be the fool
But a rambling fool I'd rather be
With stories full to tell
There we'll find the water sweet
From a deeper well

chorus

You say you've got some money dear
You say you've earned some wealth
Better put it in your mattress dear
And rest there by yourself
'Cause never love can money buy
Though bring to me some part
Some fruit of toil from your day
Some gift that's from your heart

chorus
