* He's stating that his lover, as a person [crossbow]is loving, warm, open hearted [yellow].
* But then he is comparing things such as death, a strangled rainbow, blood, etc [black] as his lover's output or just actions that s/he does [arrow]. --> Maybe he got hurt emotionally?
* Also, it seems that things were always meant to be... becuase he states that the shampoo was made 30 years ago, yet they are only 20 yearsold. So this could either mean an arranged marriage or it was just the drift of the wind...
* I'm still not too sure what the sweeping boy has to do with anything... hmm

yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow
yellow is the color of the sun
black is the color of a strangled rainbow
just the color of my lung
black is the color of my true love's arrow
just the color of a human's blood
this comes from the liner notes in the album
also, i think the meaning behind this song may have something to do with "shampoo" being a barber/hair salon. the narrator is telling the sweeper boy that he can has a chance to be more than what he is although he is young and "shampoo" has been around for 10 years longer than he has even been alive. it is beautiful lyrically regardless and whatever it means im in love.

regardless, this is a beautiful song. i love the twist on the traditional "black is the color of my true love's hair" lyrics.
