By That Beach Sound Cartel

[Verse 1]

All hell broke loose about an hour ago,
Lightning cracked and the hard rain rolled,
Desert wind had a mind of its own,
How Arizona storms always go.

Now I’m driving back home to Sedona,
Storm clouds moving on ahead,
Sun going down somewhere behind me,
Throwing fire across those rocks of red.

The highway’s shining from the rain,
The whole world looks washed and new,
Then somewhere between the clouds and stone,
Heaven starts painting up the view.

[Chorus]

There’s a rainbow falling out of Heaven,
Painting colors on those rocks of red,
Evening sun is shining from behind me,
Storm clouds rolling on ahead.

Cathedral Rock or Coffee Pot,
Snoopy standing tall,
Every time the sky picks up its brush,
I’m still in awe.

Rain and light across the desert,
Colors flowing one by one,
Watercolors in Sedona,
Painted by the setting sun.

[Verse 2]

And as I’m slowly driving home,
I think about the things I’ve seen,
The Eiffel Tower lit at night,
Paris glowing like a dream.

I’ve stood beside the Colosseum,
Felt the years inside those stones,
Seen the Rocky Mountains rising,
Snow-capped giants all alone.

I’ve driven California’s coastline,
Watched the Pacific meet the sky,
Seen those blue-green seas in Bimini,
So damn clear they fooled your eyes.

I’ve stood and watched Niagara falling,
Heard that water shake the ground,
And I wouldn’t trade a single one
Of the wonders I have found.

[Pre-Chorus]

But I’m still behind this wheel,
Still making my way home,
And those colors keep on falling
Across that red Arizona stone.

[Chorus]

There’s a rainbow falling out of Heaven,
Painting colors on those rocks of red,
Evening sun is shining from behind me,
Storm clouds rolling on ahead.

Cathedral Rock or Coffee Pot,
Snoopy standing tall,
Every time the sky picks up its brush,
I’m still in awe.

Rain and light across the desert,
Colors flowing one by one,
Watercolors in Sedona,
Painted by the setting sun.

[Verse 3]

I’ve seen this same old road before,
I’ve seen these rocks a thousand times,
I know every turn that’s coming,
Every ridge against the sky.

And I’ve seen those rainbows after storms,
More times than I could ever say,
But knowing that I’ve seen one before
Never takes the awe away.

My foot comes easy off the pedal,
And the drive becomes a crawl,
I catch myself just staring,
Like I’ve never seen it at all.

Then sooner or later it disappears,
And I keep on heading home,
With one more picture in my memory
That I know I’ll carry on.

[Bridge]

Maybe days…

Maybe weeks…

Before the red rocks get painted again.

Another storm,
Another sunset,
Another rainbow without end.

And when it happens…

I know exactly what I’ll do.

I’ll slow down…

And stare…

Like it’s the first one I ever knew.

[Final Chorus]

There’s a rainbow falling out of Heaven,
Painting colors on those rocks of red,
Evening sun is shining from behind me,
Last of the storm rolling on ahead.

Cathedral Rock or Coffee Pot,
Snoopy standing tall,
I don’t care where those colors land,
I’ll stop and watch them all.

I’ve seen Paris in the evening,
Bimini beneath the sun,
Rocky Mountains, California,
Niagara crashing down.

But here I am still staring,
Like every time’s the only one…

At watercolors in Sedona,
Painted by the setting sun.

[Outro]

Watercolors in Sedona…

Painted by the setting sun.
