From the recording Jukebox Deluxe, Volume 4
Lyrics
Hard love…Easy love
I’ve known them both many times before
Hard times…Easy times
I’m wanting something so much more
Than just sweat on sweat and skin on skin
And then a kiss good-bye
All I’m asking of you tonight
Be the rainbow in my coal-black sky
Be the rainbow in my coal-black sky
Hard days…Easy days
I’ve lived them not…not so well
Hard nights…Easy nights
Too many times I blindly fell
From faithless arms to all alone
Without a reason why
All I’m asking of you tonight
Be the rainbow in my coal-black sky
Be the rainbow in my coal-black sky
Now, I don’t want to talk about
The prices paid…the loss…the gain
All I want is see you smile
You’re the welcome shelter from the storm and rain
You’re the gentle calm in my hurricane
Hard love…Easy love
I’ve known them both many times before
Hard times…Easy times
I’m wanting something so much more
Than just sweat on sweat and skin on skin
And then a kiss good-bye
All I’m asking of you tonight
Be the rainbow in my coal-black sky
Be the rainbow in my coal-black sky
Be the rainbow in my coal-black sky
Girl, be the rainbow in my coal-black sky…
