Emily and I decided to do a rendition of Mitch & Mickey’s “A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow” from the mockumentary A Mighty Wind. Emily happens to play the autoharp, so it was a natural choice, and we enlisted Pete Lewandoski from the B-Side Growlers to play guitar.

“A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow” by Mitch & Mickey

Together:
Oh when the veil of dreams has lifted,
And the fairy tales have all been told,
There’s a kiss at the end of the rainbow;
More precious than a pot of gold.

Mitch:
In tales of ancient glory,
Every knight and maiden fair
shall be joined when the quest is over,
And a kiss is the oath that they swear.

Together:
And when the veil of dreams has lifted,
And the fairy tales have all been told,
There’s a kiss at the end of the rainbow;
More precious than a pot of gold.

Mickey:
My sweet, my dear, my darling,
you’re so far away from me.
Though an ocean of tears divides us,
Let the bridge of our love span the sea.

(instrumental)

Together:
There’s a kiss at the end of the rainbow,
More precious than a pot of gold.
