I saw her reflection in the shadow of the sun

Listening to the cadence of a dying drummers' drum

Chorus:
She knew I was coming nearer, she said no but I did not 
hear her

Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman

Rainbow woman 

When I heard her laughter I was more than some 
surprised

In her smile was sadness there was laughter in her eyes

Chorus + instrumental verse and chorus

Self respect is absent in a lonely man's mirage

Love is sometimes given in a salty tear corsage

Chorus#2:

Make the Gods that made her claim her, she comes and 
goes and so I named her

Rainbow woman, rainbow, rainbow woman, woman

Rainbow woman (repeat)
