The previous Fiddle Chicks Album- Out The Window Over the Gate- features a tune by Emma Luker called The Rainbow Sarong. In this album Emma and Dee have combined skills and taken it a little further to become a song with lyrics based on some amazing mythologies about rainbows from around the world.
lyrics
The waves they roll in and the tide is high
Breath of the wind blows clouds from the sky,
Sun will sink low in a wheel of fire with
Seven great spokes of colours so fine
7 red ships come sailing in with
7 red sails against the sky
7 wild swans with wings of gold will
carry me up from sea to sky
The sky holds a tapestry stitched so fine
Draped from the hands of Southern winds
In the clouds there are drops in the drops there are seas
In the seas there are ships with sails so fine.
