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.
