More like a faded work of art, How love is slow to fall apart
Story behind the song
We wandered hand in lonely hand
Through tiny streets of stone and sand

Rainbow Talk © Sue Bargh 2008
Last night I heard a rainbow talk
Where rooks and drunken church bells call
Where toadflax grows on castle walls
I dreamt he loved me not at all
We wandered hand in lonely hand
Through tiny streets of stone and sand
Where spells are spent and talk is grand
I said this isn’t what we planned
He looked at me, I looked at him
Tried to find the truth within
So deep, so deep that I fell in
I said its time to sink or swim
The rainbow talks of rainbow games
Of pots of gold and rainbow rain
The rainbow talk is sweet and plain
It never talks tomorrow’s pain
Not so much a broken heart
I could have stopped it at the start
More like a faded work of art
How love is slow to fall apart
Today we walked a rainbow walk
Where rooks and church bells toll and call
Where ivy grows on factory walls
And he said he loved me not at all
The rainbow talks of rainbow games
Of pots of gold and rainbow rain
The rainbow talk is sweet and plain
It never talks tomorrow’s pain
