Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Your clear eye

Is the most beautiful thing

Like sunrise

Over the sea

And when you smile with the day

Your eyes are the warmest thing

Share your yesterdays skin

And a new day begins

So even when clear skies

Seem so far away

Why go chasing rainbows

Rainbows from your door

Coz even all the clear skies

Won't bring back yesterday

So why go chasing rainbows

Rainbows from your door

Thos who have seen

Seen the phoenix rise

Say even from the pyre

The dawn can still be beautiful

The sound of your sunrise

Carries on the four winds

You shed yesterday's skin

And a new day begins

So even when clear skies

Seem so far away

Why go chasing rainbows

Rainbows from your door

Sometimes we want to run away

From a place long gone

Sometimes we want to throw away

What we need for what we want

When it's time to move on, move on...

So even when clear skies

Seem so far away

Why go chasing rainbows

Rainbows from your door

...
