lyrics

Took the broad Atlantic Highway
Carried you down to the sea
Laid to rest upon the morning
Rang the bell to set you free
To your son upon your passing
I will put some words to song
A message bottled on the ocean
A mantra to your memory

He was born in the year of our Lord
Blessed with eyes his chosen work
To love this life and worship song
Raging hard but done no wrong
He cast the sun into the grey
Lifted Hearts most every day
with tea and Sympathy he cried
All the time doors open wide
Rode a horse across the land
Motioned pictures where you stand
Kissed the birds and the angels flew
The Rainbow man the man I knew

For sporting pride he played the blues
He'd rant and rave upon the news
In many hearts he lit a fuse
But never played a game to lose
Come friends from far and children too
Like autumn leaves in they blew
You lit a fire and the sparks they flew
The Rainbow Man the man I knew

all the time that passed away
Oh so quickly never waste a day
Contemplate to your surprise
the world of wonder through Jeffreys eyes
He'd lift you up and put you down
With Angels wings a perfect Clown
And all the while the smoke he blew
The Rainbow Man the man I knew

Come Friends from far and children too
Like autumn leaves in they blew
To catch the fallen might tree
and scatter ashes upon the sea
The shore it washed a tree then grew
For the Rainbow Man the man I knew
all things to all in everything you do
the Rainbow Man the man I knew
He Lit a Fire the sparks they flew
The Rainbow Man the man I knew
So proud to have a friend like you
The Rainbow Man the man I knew

You Took the broad Atlantic highway
Rode the tailgate of the storm
You're somewhere on the Heavenly skyway
Rolling on to where the blues were born.
