When Love Is Fake

  Early 80s

Rainbows of many colors I keep deep within my mind

Are just reflections off the water that vanish with the sands of time

For each time I try to touch them, like glass they seem to break

But after all we must learn when love is fake

 

And it’s the strings of emotion that we all must pull some day

And it’s the power of devotion that we all must learn to save

The unicorn of snow-white, he soars into the sky

Do you think if he was full of freight that he’d get by on life

 

Dreams that pass behind me are just made of fantasy

They’re full of clouds with silver linings of love and mystery

And each time my heart does reach one, it is my heart which is forsaken

But after all we must learn when love is fake

     A song about my relationship with my father. He and my mother divorced when I was young. My dad was a decent man, but our relationship was strained. I don't accredit him with all of the blame in that. When you're a kid though, blaming is easy because you can't see the big picture. This is a good example of me not seeing the big picture.
