Analysis of Rainbows Fade Away
Rainbows color-dye
Then put on display
Rainbows in sun vie
Then just fade away
Rainbows arc a sky
Then decline to stay
Rainbows act as shy
Then just fade away
Rainbows can be sly
Then bewitch a prey
Rainbows like to spy
Then just fade away
Rainbows vapor ply
Then quickly sashay
Rainbows profile-fly
Then just fade away
Rainbows hit the eye
Then tell what to say
Rainbows fib and lie
Then just fade away
Rainbows travel by
Then vow a nice day
Rainbows never die
They just fade away
