Name: Rainbow in Her Bag
Duration: P00H03M11S
Description: Written on an overcast morning while I was sitting at Ravens Café in my hometown of Denmark WA. I was sipping my coffee when it started to rain. The lady sitting opposite me took something from her bag and then I imagined the rest. I think this song reveals a lot of my British heritage.

Written on an overcast morning while I was sitting at Ravens Café in my hometown of Denmark WA. I was sipping my coffee when it started to rain. The lady sitting opposite me took something from her bag and then I imagined the rest. I think this song reveals a lot of my British heritage.

lyrics

Verse 1
It just started raining again would you believe it?
I hardly saw her face and she was already looking at him
She just pulled the note from the bag and I couldn’t tell
By her writing if we were together or apart

Chorus
They told me I could read the colours of her rainbow.
The rainbow that she carried in her bag

Verse 2
The raw sugar sat in little brown packets
Her name was inscribed on the back
In a font that I had never ever seen before
With curves and swirling tails from a long time ago

Chorus x 2

Verse 3
We sat against my door on a step so high and deep
That no one could see the hill behind us
Bricks woven neatly in an unusual fashion
Tired of the invasion of the ivy once admired
By the medieval knights from a long time ago

Chorus x 2
