Sylvia Prinsloo - Love Is A Boat

The shadows of a rainbow
Follows me around
Not for the shower of colour
But a harsh thunderstorm
The mirror has two faces
Looking back at me
Give me a wild horse to ride
Much better than a dream
Sometimes the feeling
Love is a boat
A sinking boat against a never ending storm

I want to be left standing
Against a burning wall
A death child is listening
To the wailing sounds of my being
Blue sunbeams are shining
On my white bloody face
A broken shell is lying
Under your heavy feet
Dying flowers in my hair

How could I ~ oh no!
Such a fool to let you see
Let you into my shadows
That was only meant for me
But a happy star is burning
In the glowing sky tonight
God is now looking down
And setting me free
