From the recording Echoes from the Domain
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At the edge of every promise, there’s a flicker of light
And I’ve walked half my life trying to catch it
But the road keeps folding under me
Dreams burning out before they're ever really lit
Maybe the world’s been tilted from the start
Or maybe it’s just the way I’m wired—
Always reaching for something that slips through my hands
Like a shadow dying in a fire
[Chorus]
I keep chasing rainbows
Watching the sky drift out of reach
Every plan I make turns ghost‑thin
Vanishing behind a smoke screen
Some folks find the sun without trying
I only ever find the storm
Some folks win once in a while
I can’t even get through the door
Still I chase those rainbows
Always searching for bluebirds
But only ever finding crows
[Echo-Refrain]
Chasing rainbows…
Sky drifting…
Storm‑bound heart…
Only ever finding crows…
[Verse 2]
I’ve walked miles through the shadows just to feel something warm
But every doorway I reach is bricked with my emotions
I keep tracing old mistakes like constellations
Trying to read a future that’s never in motion
Maybe I was born under the wrong kind of star
Or maybe I learned to love the dark too young
Still I keep moving, chasing shapes in the distance
Knowing they’ll vanish like visions in the sun
[Bridge]
Maybe the sky keeps its distance
Because it knows what I’ve become
Maybe the light was only just a semblance
Because the storm has left me numb
But still I chase the shapes on the horizon
Even knowing they’ll only ever be an almost
[Chorus]
I keep chasing rainbows
Watching the sky drift out of reach
Every plan I make turns ghost‑thin
Vanishing behind a smoke screen
Some folks find the sun without trying
I only ever find the storm
Some folks win once in a while
I can’t even get through the door
Still I chase those rainbows
Always searching for bluebirds
But only ever finding crows
[Echo-Refrain]
Sky drifting…
Crows flying…
I'm still chasing rainbows
But only ever catching rain
