Yet another highlight from Rainbow’s debut album, the song is about a small, but weird, love story.
As explained by Ronnie James Dio in a 1975 radio special:
Catch the rainbow is lyrically medieval in that it’s concerning a stable boy who makes it with a lady of the court. She sneaks off to sleep...
Catch the Rainbow Lyrics
[Verse]
When evening falls
She'll run to me
Like whispered dreams
Your eyes can't see
Soft and warm
She'll touch my face
A bed of straw
Against the lace
[Chorus]
We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
And sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me, oh bless me, bless me
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
[Instrumental Outro]
