(intro)
x 4
(verse)
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
(verse)
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
(chorus)
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
(verse)
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 hands When they walk through town
Side by side with a book that s faded brown
[Garth accordion bridge]
(chorus)
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
Whoa
(verse)
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
