Story behind the song
Another great lyrical masterpiece from Chris, full of musical subtlety. This song may not knock you over the first time you hear it, but like many great songs of old, it stays with you and never gets old.
Lyrics
Rainbow Kestral starlight came... in through the window and she opened the door and she sang... she sang like a siren from the very last shore and an answer came... a song more familiar rising up from below eldest dame, ... what debt do I owe you, what gift would you bestow? and she said, "close your eyes, open your head up and then open your eyes, I give to you... the wisdom of knowing that you'll never be wise, look around you... the chains that bound you have all fallen away, but for one... and that tether will bind you 'till the end of your days" Then I saw the Rainbow Kestral set amid a wold of green, take to flight from bows of light, in some ancestral memory.... sunlight came... after the starlight had all faded away, and she sang... a song about morning and the very first day, and an answer came... a song more familiar but the words were all new, all I have... child of the morning, I would give it to you... Then I heard a Wood Thrush singing, perched upon a Serpent Green, With scales as bright as morning light in some ancestral memory...
