Rainbows & Pots Of Gold
Stereophonics Lyrics

I heard ya doing well
I have heard that you are doing well in your career or business.

Selling art and everything
You are selling your artwork and possibly other things.

I like ya stuff, good for you
I appreciate your art and I am happy for your success.

I'll buy a piece or maybe two
I am interested in purchasing one or more of your artworks.

Do you ever think of me?
Do you still remember me or miss me?

D'ya remember all our stupid dreams?
Do you remember the crazy or unrealistic things we used to dream about?

Rainbows and pots of gold
We had many goals and aspirations and dreamed of a bright and prosperous future.

So much to prove before we got old
We felt that we had to achieve a lot before we became too old to pursue our dreams.

I took ya places round the world
I traveled with you to various places around the world.

I miss ya face sometimes ya know
I miss seeing your face and spending time with you, you know.

You took my picture a thousand times
You took many pictures of me, maybe because I was your friend or because you enjoyed photography.

I'll buy them back' I don't mind
I am willing to buy back the pictures you took of me, I don't mind paying for them.

I lost my way but found my track
I went through a difficult period in my life, but I managed to get back on track.

I'm sorry if I never listened back
I apologize if I didn't listen to you or your advice.

I've been round, I've been up and down
I have experienced many things, both good and bad, in my life.

And you missed the one we dressed like clowns
You were not there when we had fun and dressed up like clowns.

How's ya car? How's ya life?
I'm curious about how your life is going, including your car and other aspects of your daily life.

How's my friend? when's she gonna be your wife?
I also wonder how our mutual friend is doing, and when you plan to get married to her.

I'm sitting up writing down
I am sitting upright and writing something, maybe a letter or a song.

Things I sometimes dream about
I am writing down things that I dream or think about, maybe related to our past or to my current life.

I knew ya number off by heart
I had your phone number memorized, probably because we talked often or because we were close friends.

That's the only one I liked to talk
I preferred to talk to you, and your number was the only one I called regularly.

It wasn't me using you
I did not have any ulterior motive or intention to use or take advantage of you.

I trusted you one of the few
I considered you as one of the few people I could trust or rely on.

We had some laughs, had some rows
We had some good times and some arguments, like any normal friendship.

But in the end the walls came down
However, our friendship deteriorated or ended eventually.

You'd like the place I'm living now
You would appreciate or enjoy the place where I currently live.

It's a shame you can't come around
Unfortunately, you are not able to visit me or see where I live now.

I've grown a lot since we last spoke
I have changed and matured a lot since the last time we talked.

Got myself together fixed what was broke
I managed to sort out my personal issues and fix what was broken in my life.

I wonder if we'll talk again
I am curious if we will ever have a chance to talk or see each other again.

Drink together, just like then
Maybe we could meet up and have a drink, like we used to do in the past.

Suppose it's different, now it's new
However, our situation or relationship is different now, and it feels like a new experience.

Whoever points the finger at who
Regardless of who is to blame for our past issues or conflicts.

I really hope ya happy both of you
I genuinely hope that you and our mutual friend are happy in your lives and in your relationship.

And maybe sometimes you miss me too
And perhaps sometimes you also feel nostalgic or miss our friendship.
