This song is a gem. As always with this master
Musician and songwriter the lyrics are ambiguous and dreamlike.
The thought behind the lyrics for me is: long ago some human couple must have taken the plunge for the first time, they fell in love and jumped in for the long haul.
The God-like protector over them - as their culture saw it then - was this immortal Indalo-figure. This rainbow man, this ancient symbol hinting - for me - at protecting and warding off evil as heartbreak is the actual horseshoe man. So google ‘indalo’ and ‘cave paintings’, listen to the song with the lyrics close and let me know if you’d agree.
