The Rainbow Man
The Aboriginal Legend of how the Coloured Sands became Coloured.
Song by Noel Gardner
A story is told of a legend of old,
A Maiden who walked in the sand,
Gazed across at the forest and the trees,
T'Garbi Tribal Land.

Slender as the She - Oak Tree,
Her voice was soft and light,
Claimed by Burwilla the strong one,
The fighter of the tribe.

She watched the clouds swirl overhead,
The thunder in the sky,
As Tagan descended on to the beach,
And came upon her side.

Together they walked on the shoreline,
Hand in hand.
For her dreams were answered
And her heart burned fire,
For that handsome Rainbow Man.

Chorus

Rainbow Man on the Teewah Sands
I'm thinking of you,
As we watch the morning sunrise,
With your colours changing hue.
You walked upon those golden sands,
Murrawah by your side.
Now we share your strength and beauty,
In those coloured grains of time.

He promised to return when the rainclouds came,
Again some day.
He hoped to take her as his bride,
To a land far away.
But his destiny it had to be, Burwilla showed his hand,
And with his spear and swirling Boomerang,
Took the colours of the Rainbow Man.
Yellow, Red and Purple, flew through the air,
And there today from  that Dreamtime Rain,
Are the colours that we share.

Chorus 2x.........Time, Time.
