I'm Always Chasing Rainbows
Chasing Dreams: Bud Powell's Eternal Pursuit of Joy
Lyrics
I'm always chasing rainbows
I am constantly pursuing elusive and fleeting goals or dreams.
Watching clouds drifting by
Observing clouds drifting in the sky.
My schemes are just like all my dreams
My plans and aspirations resemble my dreams.
Ending in the sky
These dreams often lead to nothing and disappear into the vastness of the sky.
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
Some people easily find happiness or success.
I always look and find the rain
Contrastingly, I consistently encounter difficulties or setbacks.
Some fellows make a winning sometimes
Others achieve victories occasionally.
I never even make a gain
I, however, never experience any significant progress or success.
Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows
Assuring the listener that my pursuit of dreams is ongoing.
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain
Waiting in vain to discover a symbol of hope or happiness (a little bluebird).
I'm always chasing rainbows
Reiteration of the perpetual quest for elusive goals or dreams.
Watching clouds drifting by
Reiterating the act of observing drifting clouds.
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Reaffirming that plans and dreams often lead to nothing.
Ending in the sky
Restating that these dreams conclude without fruition in the vast sky.
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
Some individuals easily discover positivity or success.
I always look and find the rain
Emphasizing the persistent experience of difficulties or setbacks.
Some fellows make a winning sometimes
Highlighting that others achieve victories occasionally.
I never even make a gain
Emphasizing the personal lack of significant progress or success.
Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows
Reiterating the ongoing pursuit of elusive goals or dreams.
