He walks the dusty roads that go nowhere
Because he has nowhere to go
He has buried his past in a pit of despair
And looks to a new tomorrow 
But you can’t leave behind your traitorous mind
The shadows follow you wherever you go
and soon you will find there are ties that bind
and there’s no gold at the end of a rainbow

In your dreams and deep in your heart
You know that there’s nowhere to hide
Time and distance set you apart
But the truth can not be defied
You can run so fast but that can’t last
Sooner or later you will slow
And then you’ll realise where the truth really lies
And there’s no gold at the end of a rainbow

Turn around, go back, make amends
Nothing is as bad as it seems
There’s no problem you can’t solve, you have friends
They help you follow your dreams
How can you decide that friends be denied
How can you deal such a blow?
At least you’ll have tried and you can confide
That there’s no gold at the end of a rainbow
