作词 : Jost
Another autumn night, it's getting chilly 
Birds are gathering : 'round, getting ready 
The moon and the sun are both so heavy, barely off the ground 
He's turning the wheels of his daddy's plow 
Sowing the land that's been handed down 
Singing a song from a book that's faded brown. 
Mary she's on the step, she's waiting 
Hair is like a light from heaven 
The family comes together now, believe in what they found 
Grace is said at the table round 
A prayer before they settle down 
Side by side in a book that's faded brown. 
Have you ever wondered why 
There's a rainbow in the sky ? 
It's all the tears that 
God has been crying 
And it leaves the world 
And it leaves the world 
With a rainbow for a crown, oh. 
Those that said, said they're the outsiders 
Are only easy riders on a horse that's going lame 
For the way of the world is upside down 
They can all hold handswhen they walk through town 
Side by side with a book that's faded brown. 
Have you ever wondered why 
There's a rainbow in the sky ? 
It's all the tears that 
God has been crying 
And it leaves the world 
And it leaves the world 
With a rainbow for a crown, oh. 
By the way have 
I told you already 
That his parents were buried by a tree that they loved 
The way of the world is upside down 
Even the flowers stood without a sound 
Pressed together in a book that's faded 
Pressed together in a book that's faded 
Pressed together in a book that's faded brown. 
Bound together in a book that's faded brown.
