about

so the songwriting theme today was "camel" (thanks tabitha! i almost wrote a song about you and your lovely ones) and i also maybe snuck in bettinas' travelling caravan one, and a bit of sailing for richard! (well, i could always extend on those i reckon.. some themes i love) Here we go!

lyrics

so we sailled north on our gypsy caravan
our eyes inspired by different lands
our ears aware of the camels call
their strength their beauty through it all

their big eyes knew of a treasured place
with water cool and skirts of lace
where people rest beneath the palms
and feast and laugh in each others arms

good night dear moon

there's a sky like lapis lazuli
and a waxing crescent shining bright
there are three of us and one of you
but i know that one and one makes two

i feel i'm ready for this walk
but a journeys end is at the start
i'll kiss the window sill instead
i'll wear a ring around my head

good night dear moon
i quite like you
